Course is mostly asphalt trail around small hilly town. A few sections of brick and a few wooden bridges. Due to a storm night before race we did have to go through some grass to avoid a fallen tree on the trail. Under a bridge there was a muddy section also. Plenty of water/Gatorade stops. Mile markers.
