This year the course has some changes at the start and finish. We have flipped the start and finish to avoid the paved access path in the old start. There is a slight change approaching the mile due to the addition of a curb created by road construction. The flipping of the start and finish will also avoid any potential crossing of paths when there are slower runners out on the course while a new race has started, and hopefully make for better footing when the course gets damp.

Runners should stay to the right of the paved path when coming down from the first hill.
Runners may run on the left of the Lake Road, to avoid pavement.
