Course and on-course support
The routes go across grass, pass under the road through a tunnel, and enter the park. The 5K loops the lake and returns. The 10K follows a park loop to the other side, passes under the bridge, and returns along a different path. The half marathon uses the 10K route plus an added out-and-back to reach the full distance; runners complete two laps.
Multiple water stations are located along the routes. The finish area has an aid station with water, electrolytes, and snacks. Each station has a first aid kit, crew members have received CPR training, and turns are marked with chalk and runner turn signs. Participants must wear their race bib on the front of their shirt for timing and photos. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
