Clockwise

Course starts and finishes near the pavilion. Beginning promptly at 7:00 AM runners will begin clockwise loops, running as many ~1-mile loops as possible in 4 hours. Runners must complete a full lap for loop credit. If there's 10-12 minutes left on the clock at race HQ you better be ready to pound. Most loops wins!
