HALF MARATHON COURSE MAP LINK- https://onthegomap.com/s/noa4omql

The challenging Half Marathon course has terrific Autumn colors and scenery- especially along the reservoir- to keep you relaxed & 'occupied'! The Town of Weston offers challenging hills and some spectacular views. We will have at least four water tables.

5k COURSE MAP LINK: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6945597

The 5K course has some rolling hills. It's a loop course with all right hand turns on quiet roads. We will have one water table just past half way.

The Weston Roads are not closed to traffic but both courses are well maintained for safety.

PLEASE RUN/WALK WITHOUT EAR-devices and stay safe! Be aware at all times.

The kids runs are varying distances on the WHS track- they will be determined by the ages and numbers registered.
