🗺️ 2026 Course Maps
5K Course – The 5K is a scenic 2-lap route around Wintersmith Lake. Start and finish at Wintersmith Lodge. Follow the orange arrows, two full loops around the lake and you're done!
10K Course (Out and Back) – The 10K follows an out-and-back route through Wintersmith Park and out along Cradduck Road and Ahloso Road to a turnaround point, then back to the Lodge along the other side of Wintersmith Park.
Key navigation notes for 10K runners:
NOTE: Due to ongoing construction, the 2026 10K uses the same out-and-back route as last year. We appreciate your patience and understanding!
