Maps 1:1000 on 11x17
Inside the maze is dirt - it's a farmer's field, and the paths are somewhat soft, street shoes will work but agressive or spikes may be desired. Current weather outlook is not predicting any rain and quite warm, so paths may harden by race day. Both courses will use the maze and some of the grounds, for added fun!
**Special Map note, for ease of use and visual purposes the map is flipped to be facing South, see below. This is notated on the map, this means that the map is still orientated to North, but is facing "upside down" at the bottom of the map, rather than right side up at the top like normal. This generally should not matter with constant map turning throughout the maze, as a compass is not necessarily needed, but if you plan to use one you have been notified! Or feel free to read the map upside down to stay in a more comfortable zone. Lastly the maze part of the map is hand drawn by Nixon Farms, while relatively accurate, it is not totally to scale. Inside the maze you will likely not notice any issues, but in order to make use of the grounds and attempt at a livelox the map is slightly stretched and skewed, again this should not affect your navigation really at all.
