2) The Pit Road – This is a 1-mile course intended for those who would prefer to run or walk a short distance, but still want an “up close and personal” view of a portion of the full track. The course includes a view of Victory Lane then loops back to the finish line via Pit Road. Participants will not cross the timing mat but will end at the finish line along with participants of The Track course. There is no timing for this course.
