As advertised, the Lori Fitzgerald and state meet course will be a little different this year.
The changes involve moving the start line down the hill several (maybe 100) meters and extending the easternmost portion of the course on the second loop around to recoup the lost distance. If the course alterations shown in the map are precisely to scale, this year's course is longer than last year's, but I suspect that, in reality, we have an even exchange of distances and only an approximate course layout depicted on the map.
I will revise and update this article following the Lori Fitzgerald Invitational to provide greater detail on the course alterations.
