10 km loop course entirely on trails or grassy fields. The course will be marked, turns marked at trail junctions, and traffic cones at the road crossing. The course has many rolling hills. Nearly all of the course is runnable (not particularly technical), although there is one fairly short rocky downhill section where the footing can be a little tricky. Estimated 1000 feet of climb per 10k loop.

• Elevation: Total elevation difference of only 150 feet
• Non-flat: The course is essentially never flat!
• Crossings: Two crossings of park roads per loop
• Safety: Runners are responsible for their own safety when crossing roads
