Cedar Mountain Outpost - Cedar Mountain has never been so cool! The Cedar Mountain Outpost has brought a high quality hang out space to the area. I venture to say that they have the best beer selection in the area (to go or for on site consumption), the best rotating taps, and delicious food and coffee. They're the only gas stop on 276 headed into town, but you'd be remiss not to go inside, grab a beverage, then sit in a cozy chair outside while listening to whatever live music they have at the moment. It's worth a trip up the mountain for this place and we're excited to have their support for this event.
The Cedar Mountain Outpost is providing the funds for our runner "scholarships" - providing free entry to two runners.
