Berkeley Park is mostly flat 1.0 mile loop around a scenic lake next to a retired amusement park. The path is relatively narrow but hard and fast, so expect some personal bests. We will have markers at each quarter mile, which can be seen on the course map below. 

All registered participants will receive a performance race tank top with custom artwork. Tanks come in ladies and mens fits.
