This route will cover Discovery Park.

This is a choose your own distance run completing 1-4 loops of the same 5 mile loop, for up to 20 miles total distance and 2,316 feet total elevation gain. We will mostly follow the Discover Loop trail, with a diversion to visit the lighthouse and run along the waterfront. Pacing will be 11-15 minute miles overall.  We will wait at the cars for everyone to catch up in between loops. High fives, snacking and general shenanigans are expected. Great way to test your long run abilities in a safe environment, as well as fortify mental toughness by completing the same loop multiple times.

For a complete description of  trail running with the Mountaineers, please consult the Trail Running Standards.
