The trails are well-groomed and primarily wood-chipped, with a portion on grass that is well-maintained. Over 60% of the course is shaded by trees, making it a pleasant running environment.

Course Notes:
Distances are approximate due to the nature of trail running. While we appreciate the park's cooperation, they’ve kindly asked us not to cut down trees to create new paths. If you’ve run with us at Nashotah in the past, this course is the reverse (counterclockwise). Easier? That’s for you to decide!

Distances:

• 5K: 1 lap inside – 3.21 miles
• 10K: 2 laps inside – 6.42 miles
• Half Marathon: 2 laps outside + 1 lap inside – 13.03 miles
  (Outside laps are run first.)

Course Markings:
The course is clearly marked with 12x12" turn arrows, 3' tall course signs, and cones. Traditional ultra trail tape is not used. The course is easy to follow, so there’s no need to memorize the route.
