Course Description
The race starts from the Story Mill Community Park parking lot at 9 am. The course follows along Bridger Drive and Bridger Canyon Road on the bike path towards the M Trail parking lot. Flaggers will assist with traffic control as participants cross Story Mill Road and Bridger Drive.
5k participants turn around at the 2.5k mark which is just before crossing Bridger Canyon Road. A sign and race volunteer will be positioned here.
10k runners cross Bridger Canyon Road and continue, turning around at the end of the bike path (by the M Trail parking lot). A race volunteer will be positioned here.
Participants return the same way back to Story Mill Park until reaching Story Mill Road, where they will turn left. Then turn right on Griffin, take a right on Bridger Drive, and finally a right turn back into the parking lot (where the race started). Finishers then make a left turn towards the covered pavilion, following on the tree-lined sidewalk, through to the finish line.
