Parking: Parking will be available in a grass lot at Bridge View Park. We ask to avoid parking in the main asphalt lot to allow travelers, that are not participating in the race, ample parking space. Parking is free.
Course Details: The course will start in a grassy section of Bridge View Park at the 12 foot tall Yooper Running Company blow up arch (you can't miss it). You will proceed to Boulevard Drive and run/walk West for 4.53Km before turning around to head towards the finish. There are excellent bridge and water views in both directions along the course. Boulevard Drive is composed of hard packed limestone gravel. There are a few potholes but otherwise it is a smooth road. Make sure not to trespass on beach areas for pictures as most areas are privately owned along the course. Refreshments provided include water, gatorade, juice boxes, chips, fruit snacks, bananas, and an assortment of cookies at the finish. There will be an aid station at the turn around with water and gatorade.
Do not miss out on this once in a lifetime event. We hope to see you there!
