5K Course & Map
A treat for 2026, the road paving has been completed and improvements have been made on the Lester Finley trail so you'll enjoy a smoother ride for the first part of the 5K.
The 5K is a Loop Course in Oscar Scherer State Park that is a more road-runner and walker friendly course and finishing on the trails with just a bit of sugar sand. Check out the course map below.
Start at the red & yellow "START" feather flag on the entrance road at the "Y" intersection with the Nature Center parking lot entrance. Head west out toward the ranger station on the main entrance road almost to the Ranger Station then U-turning and onto the Lester Finley Trail & using Accessible prepared paths. Finish on some of the "tamer" trails of Oscar Scherer Park; but, they're still trails so be on the lookout for tree roots and watch your footing.
For those preferring the trails and a more technical trail run, check out the Scrub Jay Scramble 10K Course Map.
