Course Map:

The course begins at the front of STAR and winds its way down the path behind the center and continues to wind around the ball fields.  Runners will then follow the course in front of the Boys & Girls Club and up the steps to Gray Middle School.  They will then complete a lap around the track and come back to the stairs.  They will follow the path down the stairs and back the opposite direction on the path they came from.  As they get to the back of STAR they will follow the path to the side of the building where the ponds are and cross over the bridge and finish in front of the center where they started.
