- Course Details: The course winds through the charming streets of Highland Square, beginning and ending in the heart of Highland Square.
- Entertainment: Along the course, keep an eye out and an ear open for some sweet, sweet music provided by Miller South students.
Race Amenities
- Water Stop: There is a water stop at the halfway point.
- CourseChallenges: (and maybe just a couple hills... teehee)
