THE COURSE

RINY Course Map 2011

The 5K is looping course around the Park Grounds. The course starts and ends near the Outside of the race track across from the grandstands and the start finish line. The course is flat but wind seems to always be a factor. The roads are paved and plowed so running conditions are generally good for winter running.

The 10K course is a double loop of the 5K course.

Early Fee Until Midnight Sept. 30th   –  $22.00
Standard Fee Until Midnight Dec. 17th  -  $25.00
