Join us Sunday, February 4th, for our event at Sweetwater Creek SP; we will be running the West side of the park. The start/finish will be located at picnic shelter #5 on the right side of the picnic shelter loop, just past the restroom/play area. We also have picnic shelter #6 reserved as well. The woods are open right now so the times should be fast. Note: the Sweetwater Green Connector trail that intersects the middle of Sweetwater West is closed for renovation and is blocked on the east and west entrances to it. The entrances to the Green Connector trail is marked as out of bounds on the map and use of the trail generally shouldn't make sense for the courses although it is possible you may cross it at times.
