The Course

The course will start by the two pavilions and go follow the edge of the lake for about .7 miles, then you will take the turn right and go over the bridge. You will follow the bridge back around to the left hand side and down the slope. There will be a minor switch back while you are going down the hill. You will continue along the trail curving to the left, you will cross over a bridge and continue following the trail. About another half mile will be the turn around point (even with a green gas venting pipe). After turning around you will follow the trail back across the bridge, up the switch back up the hill across the big bridge. You will have a nice straight away over the bridge, after crossing the bridge you will head to the left and about .1 of a mile to the finish line around 200 feet before the finish line. You will be finishing right near the chasing water fountain park close to the pavilions where you started.

Town Lake Trail (Certification #TX04016JF)

Directions

The start/finish will be on the North side of the trail, which is also referred to as Festival beach.

The best way to get there is to get on I-35 South and take Riverside exit. You head towards the Holiday Inn (Hotel will be on your right). There will be a sign that says Town Lake Trail, follow this sign and the road will take you under the bridge. You can park under the bridge or on the streets east of the bridge. The race will start and finish about .1 miles west of the bridge.

The Course

The course will start under the bridge (around mile 4 - 5) at I-35 and proceed towards Longhorn Dam. You will be running on the North side of the trail. The course follows the trail towards the baseball fields. You will stay on the trail going around the left hand side of the baseball fields thru the narrow passageway. Continue heading towards Holly Power Plant. You will stay on the trail until you get to the street at which point you will make a left hand turn under the archway towards the basketball court. There is a restroom/water facility right by the basketball court. You will continue about 100 yards further taking a left under another archway into a small parking lot. This will be the turnaround point. Water will be provided at the turnaround. You will then head back the way you came finishing back underneath the bridge at I-35.
