From the Organizer
Registration and course start will be on the track. After one loop on the track, we will run 1/2 mile on quiet dead end streets on the school campus, before moving into the trails (mix of single- and double track). We will exit the trails onto grass running surfaces, before crossing a picturesque bridge and finishing at the 50-yard line on the track.
