A Stroll in the Park

The race begins at 7:00 AM and ends at 7:00 PM. The course is on FLAT crushed gravel, one mile per loop. The loop is inside a park where there are restrooms available. The park will be open, so expect inquisitive looks and comments from passers-by.

There will be one aid station with drinks, cold and hot food, cookies, candy, and anything else we can think of. Pizza, soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches will be offered later in the day. Some vegetarian items will be included. As there is plenty of parking close to the course, there is ample room for runners to set-up chairs, small tables, and other self-support items. 

Laps will be counted by RFI technology! Of course, we'll have manual counting as a backup, but you'll be able to track your progress on the computer screen.

Course

The course loop is a one-mile (approximate) crushed gravel path with grass shoulder. Only complete laps are counted toward final mileage. There are no rocks or roots to trip you and the soft surface is kind to your legs. The course is located at Boling Park in Canton, GA so in the event of rain or snow, there will be wet areas to navigate. For those who are not trail runners and prefer not to run on asphalt, this race is for you!

A chart of the exact loop mileage and a chart of major distances, half-marathon, marathon and 50K, will be available at the event to ensure you attain your goal mileage!
