The course will take you on a challenging but beautiful tour of Bethlehem. The race starts near the playground at the Community Park and will go up the hill onto Oak Drive circle. We will turn right onto to Chapel Road and go all the way down where you will see a volunteer and turnaround and comeback on Chapel Road and making a right onto Emerson. You'll run through that part of the neighborhood onto to Etna and back onto Chapel Road. You'll turn back onto Oak Drive circle continuing straight and making a left back into Bethlehem Community Park. You'll do the paved trail loop back behind the baseball backstop and the Community Shelter, coming off the trail to the finish.
The course is very well marked and there will be volunteers at all turns and turnaround. Volunteers, arrows and chalk will help guide you throughout the course.
