The course measures just short of 1-mile and is a great way to get your morning exercise before returning to Wolftrap for the exciting post-race events. 

The course is as follows: Start at Wolftrap ES on Talisman. Turn left on St. Roman Dr. Turn right on Abbotsford. At the first opening in the median (at the intersection of Abbotsford and Midlothian), turn left around the median and return to Wolftrap ES.
