Note for 5k Course: Known among DCA athletes as “the loop,” the scenic, single-lap 5K course begins at the playground on the school’s main campus on Page
Road. The course begins mostly flat and runs south down Page Road, turns east (left) on Craig Road, north (left) on Route 137, west
(left) on Windmill Hill Road where the elevation gradually rises, and finally, south (left) on Page Road up Alsi’s Hill, west (right) on
the dirt loop beyond the playground, north (left) back on to Page Road, and ends back at DCA’s playground. This gently rolling, open-road course has a mix of paved road and gravel.
Note for our Fun Run: We have a beautiful quarter-mile fun run begins at the DCA playground and follows the dirt drive past the shop, then turns south (right) onto
the dirt drive that leads to the field cottage with a view of Mount Monadnock on the right. The course continues east (left) up Carriage
Path (grass path between the stone walls) and then turns north (left) at the gate onto Page Road, ending back at the playground
