About the course:
The course is on a
scenic loop inside the Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge. The 5 and 3-mile courses
loop past wetlands and other wildlife habitat, ending close to the start line. The Kids’ Fun Runs
are out and back. The course is flat (no hills) with a level, crushed rock
surface (there may also be some hard-packed dirt).
In case of
flooding in the refuge, the race will be held on County Road X61 with parking at
the Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge headquarters parking lot. County Road
X61 is a flat, hard-surfaced road. Check this web site to see about changes to
the race course.
