Routes

The Raven Rock Ramble offers five routes of differing distances. All routes start and finish at Harris Lake County Park (see Location). Each route has rest ("sag") stops. The location of the sag stops are noted on the map and the cue sheet, and in the Mobile App. The location of stores are also noted on the map.

Notes

• The 86 mile route follows the Century (white arrows) route for the first 59 miles, then follows the green shortcut arrows
• The 43 mile route follows the Metric Century (yellow arrows) route for the first 25 miles, then follows the green shortcut arrows
• The routes are measured from the park entrance on New Hill - Holloman Road.

 

Route Markings

The routes are very well marked.  Each route is marked with a different color stenciled arrow (100 mile is white, 62 mile is yellow, and 31 mile is blue).  Each turn has three arrows:

1. the "intersection ahead" sign
2. just before the intersection
3. a confirmation arrow just after the turn

The 86 and 43 mile routes are "shortcut" routes and marked with green arrows, starting at the point where they diverge from the 100 and 62 mile routes, respectively.



A bright orange stenciled "X" indicates where routes split. You will see these where,

• the 62, 43, and 32 mile routes split to the right onto Cokesbury Road at sag stop 1
• the 62 and 43 mile routes split at the stop sign on Hwy 42
• the 86-mile route splits to the left from Buckhorn Road onto Salem Church Road
• the 43-mile route continues straight from NC 42 onto Corinth Road

If you see a circled "X" you have just missed a turn!



If you see an arrow (any color) with a yellow line and number underneath, that's the number of miles remaining.  These are placed toward the end of the various routes on confirmation arrows (the arrow after an intersection).
