Small Changes to the Course. Check out the New Map!
Local Tad Davis helped our event a ton by creating this new map reflecting the few changes we needed to make to accommodate permit restrictions as well as integrating the Fairhaven Park trails to our finish.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
THE COURSE WILL FOLLOW THE KNOWN ROUTE THROUGH FAIRHAVEN PARK, TURNING RIGHT ON TO THE INTERURBAN. CONTINUE 10K SOUTH TO LOST LAKE PARKING LOT WHERE YOU WILL FIND AID STATION #1. YOU WILL LOOP AROUND THE RESERVOIR AND BACK ON TO THE INTERURBAN TO CLIMB FRAGRANCE LAKE TRAIL. RUN CLOCKWISE AROUND THE LAKE. RIGHT TURN ON TWO DOLLAR TRAIL. AID STATION #2 WILL BE WHERE 2 DOLLAR TRAIL MEETS CLEATOR ROAD. RUNNERS CLIMB CLEATOR ROAD AND MEET AID #3 AT THE RIDGE TRAIL. FOLLOW THE RIDGE, TO SOUTH LOST LAKE TO THE BOTTOM OF CHINSCRAPER WHERE A MINIMALLY STOCKED AID #4 WILL BE. RUNNERS CLIMB BACK TO THE TOP OF THE RIDGE STRAIGHT UP AND OVER (NO TURNS) AND INTO THE CYPRESS PARKING LOT LOOKING OVER THE SOUND. DESCEND CLEATOR ROAD ABOUT 1 MILE TO MAKE THE HAIRPIN LEFT TURN ON TO THE UPPER PORTION OF FRAGRANCE LAKE ROAD. WHERE THE UPPER SECTION OPENS TO THE ACTUAL ROAD IS WHERE THE COURSE DIVERGES FROM LAST YEAR’S ROUTE.
