THE COURSE Watch the left side of the roadway where you’ll see Mile Markers spray painted in yellow on the pavement. The start line is directly behind City Hall. To get a nice 5 mile loop course (without doing a boring out-and-back) we’ll start off by running on a short 200 feet long gravel path until we make that right turn onto Burgess Gower. Since the 5 Miler has a common start/finish that means we'll run that same 200 feet of gravel to get back to the finish line.
