The course began on football field then up hill along a half mile stretch of winding road. A gradual slope led to the city dump and a trail through brush, 6' high humps, logs, cans, and mud. Over a pile of wood to a steep hill, along a ridge, down a 60' cliff, onto the pavement through traffic to the field and once around.
