Course
If you haven't ran at McCloud Nature park...you are in for a treat! This park (especially in the fall) is absolutely gorgeous, and makes for some great trail running. The route is counterclockwise and is entirely on McCloud Nature Park property. The route is on grass and gravel trails. You’ll cross Big Walnut Creek on the historic truss bridge, build muscle by going up and down hills, and you’ll be in the forest and prairie on this course. The elevation gain is 189 feet. The course crosses the park driveway in two places, and includes these trails: Red-tailed Ridge, Coyote Ridge, Fox Chase, Barred Owl Roost, Big Walnut Crossing, and Prairie View.
