Course map
Beautiful course with wide grass and bark trials, encircling a lake; the course is mostly flat with a few rolling hills near the end; the 200 ft wide start, long starting and finishing areas, course layout, make for a spectator friendly viewing.
It is a fast course. It is slightly down hill to flat for a 1 mile then a few honest hills back to the starting line + a 2nd loop around the lake and back to the finish line
