Race Course
Parking: Parking is located near Shelter B on the left-hand side next to the restrooms. The road operates as a one-way loop, so when exiting after the race, please continue following the loop. If you pass the volleyball courts, you've gone too far.
Course Description: This course is relatively flat and fast, making it great for runners and walkers alike. While a portion of the route is paved, most of the course follows a scenic dirt trail along the lake. Please note that the uneven terrain may not be suitable for individuals with balance or mobility challenges. This is an out-and-back course—participants should stay to the right at all times. The trail is shared with other park visitors, so please be courteous and aware of others.
Water Station: There will be a water station at the 5K turn around point.
Registration and Packet Pickup
Packet pickup will begin at 8:00 AM on race day. Same-day registration will be available; however, t-shirt availability is not guaranteed for late registrants.
