Maps for 5K and 10K Run
The 10K course has been slightly modified from last year. The run is mostly flat with mixed terrain, including pavement and packed earth. The trail is narrow along the bay so we recommend you do not use noise cancelling earphones on this stretch so you can hear any other users of the trail who may wish to pass. Trail will be well marked, has two water stations, one at 5k turnaround point, and one at the 10k turnaround. Restrooms are available at the far 10k turnaround point.The last stretch of the run will include about 100 ft along the parking lot. Aside from that stretch there are no motor vehicles on or near the trail. The trail will be well-marked.
The 5K course has been slightly modified from last year. The run is mostly flat with mixed terrain, including pavement and packed earth. There is one water station at the 5k turnaround point and various water fountains within the park as well as restrooms. The trail will be well-marked.
The 1 Mile Loop around the park offers an easy way to participate! There are plenty of water fountains within the park and a number of restrooms. The terrain is flat, is primarily packed earth, and is accessible by stroller and wheelchair.
