Description
2011 Mohegan Park Thursday Night Fun Runs:
Weekly summer 3 mile fun runs starting just south of the Pavilion that is just south of the center of the park. Course Info
The 3.1 mile course is slightly to moderately hilly, mostly on trails.
Race starts on pavement for first quarter mile, then heads into woods.
Two loops in woods, one steep hill on each loop. (about 1/10th mile on in between loops)
Return to pavement after second loop, and run about a quarter mile down hill, and head into woods again at about the 2 mile mark for another larger loop that goes over a small wooden bridge that can be slippery when even a little bit wet so be careful.
It then comes to a clearing and loops around a small pond before heading back, with a fairly steep hill on the trail back to the main road. (final 2/10ths on pavement)
Once on the main road, turn right, then a quick left onto a paved trail, over a paved bridge, and then left on paved road about 70 yards to finish. Directions
