Course Map - Revised due to water conditions. Accurate as of 10/16/14 9:00pm. Start has been adjusted from map distance to get to 3500M

We apologize, but due to the amount of water, and for the safety of the athletes, there will be NO water crossing at the normal place as last year. We have revised the course so the the runners get from the south side of the creek to north side by crossing at the far east end (out by Wadsworth) and work their way back to the same basic finish as last year.

There will be no bridge over last years water crossing for people due to the amount of water flowing through there. That means people will have to use the 3 bridges on the grounds. Plan accordingly as it will take a little more time to get from one side to the other. Thank you for your understanding as we work around the conditions.
