The three courses are described using the Muni XC “M” Scale. The M scale describes the technical difficulty of a trail. There are six grades of difficulty with “M0” as the easiest and “M5” as the most difficult. More information about the “M” Scale can be found at: https://unicycling.org/files/iuf-muni-difficulty-scale.pdf
