- And another right onto Yellow School House Road,
- Before turning right down Hollow Oak back to Foggy Bottom
- To return back to the entrance to GCF, where the interior loop will be repeated.

The course is 6.2 miles of country running, with minimal elevation loss or gain.
There will be three (3) water stations along the course, as well as water, fruit, bagels, and restrooms at start and finish lines.

We are excited about our layout and thank Great Country Farms for their continuing cooperation.
