Course Information

5K Course
Course heads south from Start/Finish in parking lot, crosses the road and makes a clockwise loop of the full South Woods trail.  (NOTE: 5K will complete the full South Woods loop while 10K participants will split to the left at the bottom of the hill to continue toward the spillway.  5K participants should stay right and continue the loop, eventually going back uphill).  Course returns to the Start/Finish (do not go through arch) then proceeds to the West Miola Trailhead (by the road) before heading north then east to the turnaround in the parking lot past the swimming beach.  Participants may encounter others going the opposite direction in this area.  Stay to the left. Return to the finish via the east segment of the loop.  The last mile of the course will be shared with 10K participants. Walkers are encouraged to stay to the left to allow runners to pass on the right.
