• (2, 3, 4) – 2 km
• There are two creek crossings on the full 2 m course. Unfortunately after last rains the creek has water. Two suggested crossings are marked on the map. They are shallow but you will see 4 – 5 inches of water. It is not recommended to cross on the fallen trees unless you have excellent balance. Doctors say that you are not going to catch cold when running. After a run dry socks/shoes are suggested. If you do not want to get wet avoid #1.
