The Course

The 5k course is set within the reclaimed landscapes of the landfill facility. It starts at the entrance at an elevation of 875 feet. The route uses gravel roads, wooded trails, grassy paths, and sections of the Lanchester Nature Trail.

The Kids Fun Run takes place on a mostly flat incline.
