Ran the 8k. Tough uphill at first, then some dirt track, then a fast downhill to the finish. There wasn't a defined turn around, but I just turned with everyone else at 2.5 miles. Would also like to see some age group awards...hard to win against some elite runners in the front and all the kids ;)
It was hard course even for the 5 k
