The views you get both early in the race and then later on after leaving Chantry Flats at mile 75 are very cool. However, unlike WS, the last 25 miles of AC are the toughest miles on the course. Long, tough climbs and then technical, rocky downhills. If you can finish AC, you know you have been in a race. It will give you all you bargain for.

Race Comments
As a multi time finisher of AC and 0-3 at WS, I would rate AC as probably a good 90 minutes slower than WS. The views you get both early in the race and then later on after leaving Chantry Flats at mile 75 are very cool. However, unlike WS, the last 25 miles of AC are the toughest miles on the course. Long, tough climbs and then technical, rocky downhills. If you can finish AC, you know you have been in a race. It will give you all you bargain for.
