- About the course
  - The UW-Parkside course is characterized by a mix of terrain. It's a "true" cross country course, with a surface of grass and natural paths. The race starts on a wide starting line that allows for all runners in a large field to get a fair start. After 400 meters of flat, the course climbs for 700 meters. Runners will race downhill for most of the second mile before encountering the rolling hills that provide a challenge in the last mile.
