Clarksville - 5M
These are hilly courses, mostly on paths. The terrain is mostly down on the way out and a climb back to the finish. The start/finish line is in the elementary school parking lot at the intersection of the entrance road and the road in front of the school. The 2-mile turnaround is about 10 feet before the path spur out to Distant Thunder Trail, in the middle of a slight rise. The 5-mile turnaround is right at the end of the path at the intersection of Trotter and Summer Sunrise. Note that the 5-mile course is not an out-and-back: on the way out you divert to do a counter-clockwise loop around Water Grain Path and Red Clover Lane that you don't run on the way back. Note that we've run this loop in either direction; I prefer counter-clockwise because of the terrain and because it's easier to find the path entrance at the end of Red Clover Lane.. Importance of having course marshals: it's really nice to have someone at the bridge telling the 5-milers to run the loop on the way out and skip it on the way back. Low priority on everything else. Water stop: in the cul-de-sac at the end of Red Clover Lane Course marshal spots: at the bridge where runners start the Water Grain Path/Red Clover Lane loop at the 2-mile turnaround at the left turn onto the trail that parallels Great Star Drive at the intersection of Red Clover Lane and Water Grain Path - a 5 mi running route in Clarksville, Maryland
