The first approx 1.5 miles loop is around the baseball and soccer fields followed by entry into the woods / cornfield. The men do a small cornfield loop (1.5mi) followed by a large field loop (2.0 mi), where the women ONLY do the large loop this year After exiting from the field loop, the finish is 200m away. Both finish near the starting line. The course is mainly grass and packed dirt, with some sections of stone and uneven terrain. See course maps.
