Course Map
Course Map
The race begins on the natural grass softball field, providing ample space for athletes to position themselves as they enter the course. From there, runners traverse the perimeter of the campus before entering a circuit on the upper baseball field.
The first mile marker is reached near the varsity (lower) baseball field. After passing this point, the course continues through campus before reversing direction, taking runners back toward the starting area and leading them out to the Alamo Creek Trail.
Turning right onto the trail, runners begin a climb up the hill and reach the second mile marker, located near Japonica Way. A short section along the sidewalk guides athletes back to the lower part of the trail, which descends to the bottom of campus.
Re-entering campus, the course takes a brief stretch below the stadium before heading into the final leg. A quick ascent up the access ramp brings runners to the stadium entrance, where they complete the race with a sprint to the finish line on the track.
All races will be 3 miles.
