Weather & Terrain

The forecast currently calls for a chance of rain, but that unless it’s dangerously stormy, we’ll plan to hold the event.

  • Long pants are not necessary at this venue.  

  • Shoes with good off-road traction are recommended. Some hills are steep and can be slippery with standard road running shoes.

Facilities

This venue is a city park with dense wooded areas, marshy areas and many open fields.  Long pants and long sleeves are not necessary, but intermediate and advanced participants are likely to get your feet wet.

This is a shared-use park.  Please be courteous to other park users. Dogs must be on a leash (though many park users have off-leash dogs). Unfortunately the bathrooms were locked at the time of scouting.

Additional Notes

  • Pets are allowed but must be on leash.

  • We will have water and snacks at the finish.
