The run starts and finishes at the Hyde Park Golf Club Clubhouse.    The course will run entirely on the golf course from holes 1 through 13 and the driving range.   This will be a run on both terrain and asphalt and will cross cart paths and bridges at points.    Cross Country spikes are allowed on the course.

PLEASE NOTE - As this course is run on a golf course, there will be spots of uneven ground, small swales, changes in surfaces (grass to cart paths to wooden bridges) and possible trip hazards on the course (pinecones, sticks, etc.).   Runners will need to be aware of the course at all times and take precautions to keep even footing at all times.
