• All courses start and finish at the east end of the Cliff Dr, passing the waterfall on the bluffs and traversing along Cliff Drive, a US scenic byway.  The courses are measured with a bicycle and Jones counter for accuracy but the measurements, maps and fee will not be submitted to USATF, saving the club about $800.  Not sending documentation to USATF is only an issue if your road running performance needs to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked.
• For your safety we do not allow dogs, skateboards, inline skates or bicycles.
