Course Description & Map
Approximately 5-10 minutes before the race start, we will proceed as a group over to the start line on East Shore Road, where the race will begin and end. If you looked at the course map earlier, be sure to take a look at the new course map because the start/finish line has been moved and the first and last stage of the run has been altered to enhance runner safety and improve traffic management.
