Course: The course we have at the Trimble County Park is a true cross country course. We have flat grass sections, hills, a small creek crossing, and a long woods section offering heavy shade. Races start on the hill across from the football/soccer fields. The last 1100m of each race will go around the football/soccer fields and go around and through tent city before following the softball fence to the finish. The 5k circles behind the starting line and does an extra trail before entering the woods at the back entrance.
Our course is spectator friendly allowing parents and coaches to see about 2/3 of the race.
