| A really fine Race Shirt, for an additional $5, is available at the race. | |
| Parking | Parking available along Juniper Pl, Pennsylvania Ave, and along Hudson St. See Map! |
| THE COURSE |
The Rec-way is soft gravel, with relative solitude, beautiful stretches, and freedom from automobile traffic. Great running; great racing! Most of it is on a slight incline with a steeper ~.3mile-long section which is down-hill after half-mile and up-hill before midway in the race. Due to the relative narrowness of the Rec-way, runners are expected to stay to the left and not run more than two abreast so as to facilitate passing, especially near the two turn-arounds. There will be at least one water stop. The course is wheel measured. Racing novices will feel welcomed, as will the more experienced. |
