Course Description: The course at Elm Ridge Park is the home course for the Terriers Cross Country team. The course is a USATF certified 5k course! The race will be a cross country 5k that will be mostly off-road on grass and gravel. There is a section of the course on the pavement. It is a very simple route, and runners will be doing the same mile loop 3 times!

Parking: There are several different lots at Elm Ridge Park. There are 2 lots close to the street that will be open for parking and an additional lot in the back near the amphitheater. In the event of overflow parking, Griswold Middle School will be used, which is a short half mile walk away. Shortly before the race begins the road that runs through the park will be shut down to thru traffic.

Extra Information: Select Physical Therapy will be on site. Paramedics will also be located on site as well.
