Course Description
This is a non-technical out-and-back trail run suitable for all levels.
Runners will exit camp and head out on a wide dirt road for approximately 0.75 miles, then turn onto the Santos Paved Bike Path for another 1.25 miles. The turnaround point is clearly marked at mile 2. From there, runners will retrace their steps back to camp for a total of 4 miles.
The route is smooth with minimal elevation and can be comfortably run in either road or trail shoes. Perfect for running or rucking.
