the course
This 5k course consists of a 2K loop, to be run two times, with a 1K finish loop. The course is modeled after the NTN national course, consisting of moguls and hay bales which athletes must navigate throughout the course.
There is a 60 meter start line which gradually funnels in for about 450 meters to the first left turn. The moguals, which consist of 4 hills about 6 feet tall, are about 650 meters into the course.
The first set of 3 rows of hay bales are located about 1000 meters into the race with the second set being located about 1500 meters into the race.
At 2000 meters, the athletes will be back along the starting straight; they will complete the same loop a second time.
At 4000 meters, the athletes will again be on the starting straight, but this time at about 450 meters they will make a gradual left turn and head back toward the starting line for a 500 meter straightaway into the finish chute.
