Course
The race consists of multiple laps of a USATF-certified 1.00 mile path in Decatur, Alabama’s Delano Park. Aid will be available on each lap. The partially tree-lined course is flat with total elevation change of less than 15 feet per lap and is completely unpaved. The average high temperature is 60F and average low is 40F. Sometimes it rains all day, it has snowed, and it can get kinda warm, be prepared for anything. There is plenty of room in the park along the course route for you to set up a base camp on the Friday before or on race morning. There are permanent bathrooms and there will be extra port-a-potties at trail side.
