Does this course really make runners turn around after 8k at top of overpass, run back down, and then under the bridge? Kind of odd and clumsy IMO.
10k Course
I gather something happened last year but why didn't they just make the course go a ways up Hillsdale at 5k and turn around there like a halfway point? Any insight on this? I also notice the course is 10.4 k. Why even go up the overpass for that matter?

Last year people got caught at the train track .. Not sure at which point. I didn't get caught but I'm slow.

Ran la half last Sunday ... Does this go over the same bridge or overpass? That sucked and might keepe from doing it again. Stay here maybe and do a King Cake 5 k for Faith house.

That map doesn't even go to the overpass, and looks very confusing.
