- Click here to see the 3k route.
Start Line Positions:
- Line up at the start line according to your estimated finishing time. The faster you are - the closer to the start line you should be. If you are going to run/walk, please line up towards the back of the group.
- To ensure a safe start with proper seeding we ask that you listen to our run announcer and line up in the appropriate area.
Run Etiquette:
- The park paths are not closed to the public and we must all share the path. Please keep to the appropriate side of the path when there is two way “traffic”.
- When there are others on the route, please run in SINGLE FILE along the right hand side of the trail.
- When overtaking/passing a runner, pass on the left. A quick, “ON YOUR LEFT” lets others know of your presence.
- Wearing headphones is discouraged for safety reasons and as a courtesy to other runners who assume you can hear them approaching or marshals who need to give you instructions.
- If you must stop, please step off the path onto the side so you do not impede those behind you.
- Please do not litter. The park is lovely - we want to leave as small a footprint as possible.
