Course and facilities

Key route points include North Park Drive, a turnaround at Pleasant Valley Place, Panda Lane, Porteous Circle, and the lake path. The route is described as generally flat with a few small hills. Roadways will not be closed for the race, so participants should use paths and sidewalks and take care when crossing intersections.
