Course Descriptions (maps appear below):

Start: The Half-Mile Run, 1-Mile Run and 2K Kids Marathon all start in the same location - on the path between the pavilion and stairs. Look for the white starting line.

Finish: All events finish in the same location - 50-feet east of the t-intersection on the path, just southwest of the playground.

Toddler Trot: The Toddler Trot starts near the restrooms, which is approximately 328 feet from the common finish.

Half-Mile Run: 2640' -- Participants will head east from the common start, take a quick right then left turns, and bear left around the lake clockwise.  Once past the lake, the course quickly turns right then left before rejoining the earlier part of the course.  The course then bears left at the fork, and turns right as it goes around the playground to the finish.

1-Mile Run: 5280’ –  1-mile participants will head east from the common start, take a quick right then left turns, and bear left around the lake clockwise.  Once past the lake, the course will continue straight on the path. After passing the second lake, participants will turn right and stay on the main path before turning right again. The course quickly turns right again, straightens out, and takes a final left turn toward the lake to the finish.

2K Kids Marathon: 6548’ –  Participants will head east from the common start, take a quick right then left turns, and bear left around the lake clockwise.  At the north tip of the lake, the 2K course has an additional out-and-back to cover the extra distance – 634’ out, which is 100’ before the sidewalk on Education Drive. After the out-and-back, the course returns to the original path and continues around the lake then straight on the path. After passing the second lake, participants will turn right and stay on the main path before turning right again.
