Race Course:

START: At giant sign (traffic light on wootton). Go down hill passing wootton high school on your right. Follow wootton up hill and take a left on Fallsmead Way. Follow all the way up and turn left on Watts Branch parkway. Follow around until you pass the gas station. Turn left on Hurley. Run back towards Giant and

FINISH: by second circle. Overachievers can run back to the giant entrance, the rest of us can walk back to celebrate.

One last thing:

There are going to be a lot of people running/walking different paces. Please make sure to coordinate with your individual groups if you get split up. I plan on having a few quick runners to run ahead of the group so they will be at the cars at the end of the race to share all the yummy food. I will have my cell with me the whole time.

Also, there will be no port-a-pottys, so please use the restroom BEFORE you arrive.
