Run Course

RUN COURSE  ** IMPORTANT UPDATE, 4/15/26 at 7:00 PM **
Due to the construction of the lake front band shell at Lake kittamaqundi, we have rerouted a portion of the race course. The updated route will run on the east side of the lake only. This portion of the run course will be an out and back section.
 
IMPORTANT - When running around lake, run to LEFT SIDE of pathway at all times to the turn around point.
 
5K - Complete 1 loop of the course. Run to turn around point on east side of lake and continue on run course to finish line.
 
10K - Complete 2 loops of the course. Run to turn around point and continue on run course. Runners will complete the run loop TWICE, then run to finish line.
