The runners cross the road. The mile is just beyond the road.

The hill starts off easy

The surface has some rocks which make it hard to get good footing

The hill gets steeper for about 50 meters

After reaching the top, the course circles around on slanted grass surface

The long down hill was covered with wood chips, but were removed after walk through
