Check out The Route via MapMyRun.
Parking
We will be blocking off parking spots at the far end of the golf course club house lot since that’s where you’ll be starting and finishing. But most of the club house lot is still available for parking. Additional parking is available just a few yards away near the Blue Hill Ave. entrance, on the street along Circuit Drive. and the parking lot right across from the club house entrance.
Restrooms
The golf clubhouse will be open, but be advised that the bathrooms only have a few stalls. Leave plenty of time in case there is a line.
Number Pick-Up and Bib Tags
We’ll be inside the club house starting at 8:00 am. Your early pick up is appreciated to help keep things on schedule.
Bag Check
We will not have bag check, sorry.
The Course
Please be aware that in some locations on the course, the condition of the paving or concrete is poor. Watch your step throughout the course.
There will be one water stop on the course at approximately mile 1.5. This is at the right turn onto the path that goes towards the lovely view on Schoolmaster Hill.
Awards & Results
We’ll have awards for the male and female overall and age group first place winners, and for the runner in the best costume, at approximately 9:50 inside the club house.
Results will be posted shortly after the race by our timers, Race Menu.
