LINK TO COURSE

Course has been measured by Jim Gerweck, USATF/RRTC Certifier and also IAAF and World Athletics Organization certified. 
Boys MEET RECORD is 14:50 by Marcelo Mantecon of Miami Belen Jesuit in 2025 and Girls MEET RECORD is 17:37 by Annabella Tomasic of Bishop Moore in 2025.
Markers will be posted at 1 mile, halfway (1.55 miles), 2 miles, and 3 miles. We will also have an 800 meter to go and 400 meter to go mark. ALSO A TIMING MAT AT THE HALFWAY MARK (2,500 METERS) - ALL RUNNERS WILL GET SPLITS FOR FIRST AND SECOND 2,500 METER SECTIONS.
  • Course is 1.50 mile loop done twice with final .11 miles straight down fairway.
  • (mostly golf course fairways with 4 short 100 meter sections on dirt roads through woods)
  • There is not a LOT of pavement, but enough on cart paths that athletes may want to consider flats or "spikeless spikes" (nubs) - rather than metal

  • FINISH AREA
  • Entire last 1/10 mile will be staked/roped off securely, and a chute beyond finish will dump runners straight into team camp area. Please do not enter chute area unless a medical emergency.
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION
Starting line is 120 feet wide, (and 55 feet deep) 

First 200 Meters is downward sloping right down the 9th hole fairway. Right at 200 meters, course narrows quickly. This is followed by a wide open 600 meters straight down 8th hole fairway. 

At 1/2 mile you begin to run adjacent to hole #8. At 3/4 mile you enter the woods for a nice shaded 100 meters. Shortly after the 1 mile mark you enter another wooded section on a flat dirt road for about a 1/10 mile. At 1.38 miles you swing a hard left and across the grass to the 1st hole fairway. The exact Halfway point (1.55 miles) at a huge oak tree. (Timing mat will be down)  Run left along the back of the driving range and merge back onto loop 1 at 1.64 miles.
From here you repeat the exact same loop again.
HOMESTRETCH RUN...
At 2.79 miles you enter the back woods again. Emerge from the woods at 2.89 miles and at the hard left you have 1/4 mile to go. As soon as you take the hard right onto the #1 fairway you hit the 3 mile mark and have 564 feet of gently sloping downhill to the finish.
