  As you start the race from Beeksma Dr. you will turn right onto Pioneer Way and head east onto E. Bayshore Dr., which takes you along the waterside. When you reach Pioneer Way you will head east and do a short out and back.

  As you head back on E. Bayshore Dr. you will reach Flintstone Park and head towards the boardwalk running along the waters edge. A few short turns and then you will head on a paved pathway back up to E. Bayshore Dr. heading east again.

  When you reach City Beach St. you will turn south towards the water. At the end of the street you will head west through Windjammer Park on the paved pathway and pass the finish celebration area heading out onto a very solid dirt pathway for a very short distance. Once you leave the pathway you will be on Scenic Heights Road and you will start to have a series of rolling hills where the elevations will be the highest.

  There will be a turnaround timing mat located just past Miller Road as you turn back onto Scenic Heights Road. Make sure you go over the mat. There you are in your final two miles of the return before the finish. The Finish Line is located in the park on the grass.

  If you are a walker please be careful to allow runners to pass. Do not walk together in rows as this can be quite difficult for a runner to get by.
