Course:  The course starts out in the grass and follows a gravel road down a hill for one-half mile and returns up the hill and around the park to a paved road. The paved road is about 40 meters down and back where the runners will enter the grassy fields of the park for another half mile or so.  A small wooded section is traveled for a short stint and runners return to the gravel road at the end of the course.  Middle schools will run a 3k course; adults will run a slightly different course than the high schools.
