Course and logistics
Courses are described as out-and-back routes on asphalt or concrete surfaces and are about 50% shaded. Course pages indicate repeated laps are used for longer distances; the 5K repeats the out-and-back course twice, and the Half Marathon is described as six repetitions of an out-and-back loop. The overall course time limit is 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Event layout notes include setup next to the skatepark and overflow parking at the back near the soccer fields. The organizer cautions that another group may run a 5K at the same time and identifies this event as the US Road Running race at the venue.
