Course and entries
The course is described as flat and fast. Runners head north, loop around the park, return along the same route, then veer left to loop through a wetlands area. Each runner completes two loops in the 4 x 5 km race. The exchange zone is approximately 50 m past the Trail Trips race arch; team members tag at that marked exchange. Registration fees vary by division and registration period; sample prices shown are $22.50 and $27.50 for open relays and $17.50 and $20.00 for the schools relay. The event includes prizes, giveaways, food vendors, live music, and beer available on site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
