Q. What is the course like?
A. The map below will give you a rough idea of the 5k course, which is essentially a counterclockwise loop of the airport. It is generally flat and fast, but there are number of twists and turns around the hangers (not pictured in the map). The course will be well marked and there will be people out there pointing you in the right direction!
Q. Are there any water stops?
A. There will be one water station out on the course around the halfway point.
