Course Notes

Since this is a two loop course, there will be passing involved. Please be mindful of the runners around you and yield to participants who are passing you. 

We will have volunteers throughout the course, so please take the time to thank them as you go by! We could not make the race happen without our wonderful volunteer crew.

Please note that there may be pedestrians using the same paths as the course. There may be some people on bikes, with strollers, walking dogs, etc.
