The course includes a variety of surfaces.  The race starts on the track and then opens up onto a field with short grass.  From the fields the course leads onto a gravel drive and then onto a trail through the woods.  There is an uphill and a downhill on the trail.  The trail drops out onto a field.  The field path leads to a very short stretch on pavement and then back onto a field path where there is a short (40 meters) steep uphill and a gradual downhill.  The field path leads back to the track and the last 300 meters is on the track, providing for an exciting finish!  Click here for a course map with a detailed description of the course.
