The exact distance of the Half Marathon course is 13.2 miles, with an elevation gain of 1,144’. In addition to the challenge of the added length and elevation, the Half Marathon course has decidedly more technical terrain than the 10K course. These newer sections have some steep hill climbs with plenty of rock and root filled sections. The one-loop Half Marathon course is AWESOME and includes all the terrain of the 10K course as well as many of the newer trails in the western portion of the neighborhood. The exact distance of the 10K course is 6.2 miles, with an elevation gain of 438’. After entering the single-track trails, 10K racers run along semi-technical terrain, up gradual hill climbs, and along relatively flat stream valleys before finishing in Great Meadow park, a large grassy community area. 3 miles of the course, this is the only pavement in the race.
Other than a few road crossings and the last. 2 miles of double-track trail, perfect for establishing pace and position. The one-loop 10K race course is a super-fun, tried-and-true loop that many Briar Chapel residents run and ride all the time. While there are some hills, rocks, and roots along the course, the majority of the terrain is less technical than the 10K and Half Marathon courses. The exact distance is 3.3 miles, with an elevation gain of 222’. 3 mile of wide-open pavement, followed by 3.0 miles of double and single-track. The 5K is perfect for families with kids (aged 6+) and for those looking to get a small taste of trail running. After finishing the race, athletes will enjoy post-race food, great music, a free kids race, and a fun awards ceremony with lots of giveaways.Ĭourse Maps and Description 5K Course Description In addition to fantastic trails, centrally located Great Meadow Park, with its beautiful lawn, stage, and pavilion, offers a perfect setting area to start and finish a race.Īthletes will be treated to some awesome courses that include a mixture of smooth and flowing dirt trails, rock and root strewn single-track, and challenging hill climbs.
