Course Descriptions: Both the 5K and 10K courses start and finish at the grassy area on the lower canal, easily visible from above.
- The 5K course starts out heading northwest on the paved trail, then turns around just west of the 67th Avenue ramadas, and returns along the same route. The 5K course is stroller friendly.
- The 10K course starts out heading southeast on the paved trail, the crosses on a dirt trail to the opposite side of the Park/canal, turns left for a short distance to a turn-aorund and then continues heading northwest under three bridges at 59th, Thunderbird, and 67th Avenues. This course then rejoins the paved trail, crosses the bridge to reach the northeast side of the Park/canal at 75th Avenue and then heads southeast, passes by the 67th Avenue ramadas, and returns to the starting area.
- The Kids 1K course is the same course as the 5K, but truncated to 1K out and back inclusive.
