The starting line begins near the parking lot where the trails begin. The first section goes through a paved type roadway through the Pine Trees. The course has scenic changes, from the pines to running through a clear-cut area and back into the trees (the trail is a cross-country type course with the majority being unpaved). It also has nice altitude changes (little hills that make it more challenging). The race follows the following numbered trails: 1-2-3-4-7-8-1 (see below).
