Courses descriptions
Note that the distances may sound short, but this isn't your neighborhood 5k. We don't have "flat and fast", we have hills, additional hills, some hills, marshes, logs, and varying thicknesses of vegetation, so please use the time estimates to inform your choice if you aren't familiar with the course types.
