The start and finish at the
Thomas Street entrance.
The 1 mile point is located just before
coming out of the woods to the 190 overpass.
Approaching the 5K turnaround.
The 5K turnaround is marked with powder. The 2 mile point is located beyond
the bridge after the 5K turnaround.
At the 2.74 mile point, you will come to this gate. Look for the powder arrow on the ground. Take the path to the right which leads
into the woods. Run until you come to the fork in the trail, complete the loop (marked by powder), and return to the start for the 10k course.
