Forest Park - paved/gravel path outer loop plus inner road loop

Starting at the parking lot north of the museum, or if you were standing at the front facing the building by the horse statue it is the one to your right. Starting there follow the road down the hill (you pass by the triangular turn around used so often in all SLTC road races in the park) and stay to your right, taking the road towards the visitor center. Once you pass the visitor center jump on the gravel trail and follow that clockwise around the park, staying on the gravel whenever possible. Once you get back to where you jumped on the trail get back on the road and hang a right at the end of the big parking lot (on your right) and head towards the Muny - once you hit the circular drive go right, and make your first right to head back towards the zoo. Once you can take the road to your right to head back up to the art museum take that and finish up the loop. Pretty simple, little rolling hills but nothing too terrible. Mostly flat. I did this during the Shakespeare fest so I stopped to see my brother perform a bit before finishing my run.
