The Course
COURSE: The course will be slightly different this year for easier navigation, 3.55 miles total. Head out on paved/gravel Aptos Creek Road to George's Picnic area. (1.8 miles), loop around the group of trees in the parking area, then take a quick left onto the Buggy Trail heading back towards the finish (0.5 miles). The Buggy Trail reconnects with the fire road. Turn left onto the road and head back to the finish (1.3 miles). This year there will not be people on the course so it is up to the runners to know the course. Your time will be called out as you cross the finish and posted on this site every Wednesday.
