COURSE DETAILS - click to see map
The course starts on Payne Street and heads up what locals affectionately call No Payne No Gain Hill, a steep incline, before turning right onto Spring St. Spring Street is a decline where you can pick up some speed before coming back up towards Hamilton Street, turning right and then left onto Colgate's campus. Head to towards Admissions and then down towards Willow Path, running along the beautiful tree-lined path on Colgate's campus. Take a sharp right back up Oak Drive and then cross over to University Ave, circling back to Payne Street and finishing where the race began.
