The course itself will be flat terrain with some hilly areas, running on both grass and concrete paths. We advise runners NOT to wear spike for the race. It is a scenic route with cordoned off areas and numerous stewards to help you along the way. Some areas will have caution signs and we ask all participants to be aware of signs posted for your safety.
