Course Map

This is a simple out and back course on the Busse Woods Trail.  The route is super scenic and starts and finishes on grass but most of the route is paved and generally flat.  Friendly reminder... please make sure to bring doggie bags and pick up after your dog if they locate their own portable toilet along the course :-)  The course will be open to bikers and pedestrians so please try to stay to the right side of the route while running.   Click Here for an interactive Course Map
