Festival 5.1k + 2

Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 5:30 PM
Meet Location: 1500 Swan Lake Rd - parking lot
Activity: Road Run
Distance: 5 miles +/-
Weather: Mid 50's with 50% chance of rain

Since I am organizing the 2009 Festival 5.1k, I'm selfishly picking tonight's route as the updated Festival 5.1k (with an additional 2 - 3 miles) to finalize the finish line and get the feel of the revised course. It should be a low key run tonight and, assuming that we get the less wet 50% of the forcast, a fun run.

Note: Many people have had difficulty finding this location, though it is centrally located. If you don't know where the former Birchwood Elementary School (currently Mount of Olives Baptist Church) is located, click this link for directions and an interactive map. There is loads of construction by the mall area, so those directions are a bit off. The easiest way from the mall/Central Entrance side, presently, is to go up Basswood Ave toward the Duluth Heights Community Club. Go approximately three blocks, then take a left on Swan Lake Rd. Continue for roughly one mile and the parking lot is on your right, but set back a bit. We'll gather next to the black Honda Element.

See you tonight!
