Race proceeds clockwise around lake over mildly rolling terrain. The first half mile is on the paved main roadway. After crossing small bridge, bear right onto DIRT PATH, keeping the lake on your right. Continue on DIRT PATH (watch for tree roots and protruding rocks!).

The turnaround is past the earthen dam and is approximately 200 yards pass the 4.0 mile marker (if you reach the public marina, you've gone too far!). Race sentries are stationed and water is available at the turnaround.
