Course

The 5k loop course starts on a closed road, transitions to a sidewalk over the bridge, down some stairs, and then onto a quiet road and a flat park trail (limestone screenings & asphalt) around the Lakefield Beach & Campground, before returning to the start/finish via Clementi St.
Caution will be required on the narrower sections that do not have a road closure, including the bridge and sidewalks
Two aid stations will be available: one on course by Hague Blvd, and one at the start/finish
Please note: this map has been updated to show the return loop will be via George St and not Smith St.
The course map is available as a GPX Route for viewing on your running watch
