Overview

The course takes place mainly on hard track and forest trail. If the weather has been inclement, then the ground will likely be muddy. The course is gently undulating but with a Christmas gift of 167' climb at 3 and 8km. You'll enjoy looping around the lakes. The 5K is one lap and the 10K is at two laps. The start area is a wide, open space - perfect for spectators who want to cheer on friends and family!
