Course and logistics
The course uses Interlaken Boulevard - a wide, paved road closed to motorized traffic through the park - and nearby dirt trails. Each loop is 2.5 km; the 5k is two loops and the 10k is four loops. The route includes a short staircase and a climb to the top of the park before returning to the start/finish area.
An aid station is located at the start/finish. Runners pass it at 2.5 km on the 5k, and at 2.5 km, 5 km, and 7.5 km on the 10k. The aid station provides water, an electrolyte drink, and carbohydrate-rich or salty foods such as energy bars, gels, chews, cookies, chips, bagels, and bananas. Street parking is available adjacent to check-in and the start/finish. Dogs are not allowed on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
