There are 4 challenging climbs. This course is NO Disco and requires training and mental and physical toughness -- but Iron Girls qualify!

After completing this challenging 17.5-mile loop, the run is cake!

1. As you exit Transition, follow the paved running path along the lakeside and over the footbridge along Centennial Lane.
2. Remain on the main path at the 'V', and continue along the lakeside. You'll pass the first of our aid stations at about 1.1 miles.
3. At the next fork, bear left and up the short hill, and then bear left again. You'll follow this path to the road.
4. Go right and over the hill, passing aid station #2; continue down the roadway and over the bridge.
5. Bear left and follow the path around the tennis courts, and up toward Annapolis Road. Near the top of the path, go right, staying on the path as it takes you along the ball field. You will encounter the sidewalk and the safety 'ramp'.
6. Head off the sidewalk onto the driveway; follow back to the bridge, and continue up the "Gatorade Wall". At the summit, you'll pass aid station #3 as you bear left and down the slope.
7. Continue down the slope; at the fork, bear left again, and follow the path eastbound, along and past the dam.
8. At the last fork, bear right, and follow the path along the lakefront to the finish line -- marked by colorful balloon arches and signage, and of course with music and applause!
