The start is a traditional cross country start with the entire field toeing the line. At the gun, runners cross an open field before heading out on the trail system. Over 90% of the race is through the Park's forests. This course has narrower trails but are groomed year round. At the finish, runners leave the trail for the last open field sprint to the finish line. The 5K is one loop and the 10K is two loops.
