The challenger course will include 2 loops through the petting farm and wildlife park, one lap through the Safari Park, and a loop through the woods(almost a full mile!). Second-wave runners may opt to go into the woods or do another loop around the safari. The challenger course will also include, but not limited to, these challenges for extra fun:
