The 3200m course is entirely low mowed grass or some dirt road portions. Nicholls Track & Field student-athletes line the course at important turns to cheer on competitors. Competitors will have post race refreshments and the opportunity to share in the festivities of the University and High School races that follow. There will be prizes for the Overall Top Men's & Top Women's and Overall Top Masters Men's and Top Masters Women's finishers. If entries exceed 50 participants there will be age group medals awarded.
