Course:
Loop course: Our race will be a ~1.5-mile loop course run at Linfield University’s wellness trail. It is a mostly dirt/bark dust trail. The start/finish and aid station will be located just off SE Lever Street on Wildcat Circle (in google maps, it is the parking lot to the SE of the Linfield College Nicholson Library). There are plenty of areas for runners to set up their own aid stations or chairs along the course, and vehicle access is very close.
What shoes should I wear? The trail is not very technical, with just a few tree roots; road shoes work best in dry conditions. If conditions are wet and muddy, trail shoes might be a better option.
