• Please arrive at the start line at least 10 minutes before the start of your race.
• There is a 2-hour course limit.
• B-chips (or chips already attached to the number bib) will be assigned to every runner for timing purposes.
• Mile Markers are located along the course. There are no splits given on the course.
• Maymont does not allow pets on the property, so please leave your four-legged friends at home!

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The loop course will start in Maymont Park inside the Hampton Street entrance on the paved road immediately adjacent to the finish line. Runners will head east out the Hampton Street entrance and make a right turn heading south on Hampton Street. Runners will turn left onto Kansas Avenue and then a right turn on Texas Avenue. They will turn left into the Texas Avenue parking lot before entering the North Trail heading east. The trail loops under a bridge (turn right) and continues east for the entire North Trail. Underneath the Lee Bridge you will make a right turn on a small wooden pedestrian Bridge. Follow this trail down to Tredegar Street. Make a right on Tredegar Street and then another right onto the Belle Isle Footbridge. Take the bridge across the river and make a sharp left hand turn at the bottom of the ramp on Belle Isle to a trail leading across the east side of Belle Isle. At the end of this trail make a left turn and cross the emergency access road bridge to the south side of the river. Take the trail adjacent to the fence until the 22nd Street Stairs. Go up these stairs and make a right turn onto the Buttermilk Trail heading west. Continue on the Buttermilk Trail all the way until you reach the Boulevard Bridge. Turn left and run on the sidewalk across the Boulevard Bridge. Turn left at the end of the bridge toward a parking lot and then turn left again onto the North Trail. Just after crossing a small wooden bridge, you will enter Maymont Park through a gate that is normally locked. You will go left on the paved path past the bear habitat and continue on this paved trail to the Aviary. Here you will turn right and follow the last ½ mile of the cross-country course in Maymont to the finish.
