Start—The start is by the shot put area
by the interstate.
The first mile goes north onto the junior high playground
area—this is also part of the current Junior High course. It is rough in areas, but is needed to add
distance and to allow for separation of runners.
There is asphalt on the parking lot side (south side) of the
playground---this is needed due to drainage ditches.
Follow the road (not on it) back towards the start area, then by
the tree you will turn left towards the greenhouse and go behind the
school. This is like the last few years.
There is asphalt there and new dirt, but then you will head up the
hill. The mile mark is the tall oak
tree on the hill. Turn like in the past at the top of the hill and go inside
the fence and follow this to the far west end and turn right and go back to the
start.
Follow the same loop out to the north. The
Difference
on the last mile---you will not go back to the far loop. At the Prairie Grass you will turn back to
the greenhouse and follow this to the school---runners will go across the
practice area to the finish line—the same spot as it has been in the last
several years.
