Course and on-course support
Courses are looped. The 5K is one loop that circles the lake. The 10K is one loop. The half marathon uses the 10K route plus an added out-and-back section to reach the full distance, and runners complete two laps. Routes cross grass, pass under a road tunnel, go under a bridge, and use different park paths. The courses run on open paths shared with other park users.
Multiple water stations are located along the routes. The finish area has an aid station with water, electrolytes, and snacks. A first aid kit is available at each station and race crew members have received CPR training. Turns are marked with chalk and runner turn signs.
Race logistics
Runners must wear their race bib on the front of the shirt for timing and photos. Personal items can be left with staff at the registration tent; participants should bring their own bag. All finishers receive a race medal. Overall first place male and female finishers in each distance receive 1st place medals. Race results and photos are emailed the day after the event; race photos are free. The course closes after 3 hours and 20 minutes for the half marathon and 10K.
