    RACE START: 9:00 a.m.

    PARKING: Primary parking will be at Iron Horse Park, there’s a good amount of spots. Overflow can be on the surrounding streets (Millshire, Clintshire, Heathshire). Legal street parking only, please. (no blocking driveways or roads).

    COURSE INFORMATION:

    The course will be slightly different this year. Like last year we will start at the shelter house, heading out on the field path, then out into the neighborhood. We will go out and loop around the Hidden Hills pond. Then back up towards the park. Then south on the bike trail, turning back to the park, finishing with a loop in the field like last year. Course will be very well marked with course marshals at all major intersections.

    No dogs allowed on course for legal reasons. Thank you.
