Race Map

The course remains unchanged from prior years. It is mostly flat, with only a few slight changes in elevation. One hill exists, on which competitors will descend after the first mile, and run back up towards the end of the 3rd mile. The route stays within the residential borough of the town, and will be both well marked and well populated with helpers to guide each individual.
