Event Details
Course Description
The race starts at the park's main pavilion and follows a flat, paved circuit around the tranquil lake. The 5km and 10km routes loop twice and three times respectively, offering wide paths, shaded trees and occasional views of the water. The Half Marathon adds extra laps, staying on the same well‑maintained trail, making it easy to gauge effort. The Fun Run follows a short, kid‑friendly loop with plenty of space for families to cheer. All courses are fully sealed, providing a fast and safe surface for runners of any level.
