The Great Escape Run Course
The Great Escape Sprint Run Course takes you up the hill through Ellis-Porter Park toward the State Capitol, before turning toward the historic old state penitentiary and heading back to transition.
The Supersprint course follows the same route, up the hill through the park with a turnaround on Riveria Drive near Hough Street.
These courses remain unchanged from last year.
RUN COURSE TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS:
