Itinerary:

This is an ideal event for beginner trail runners. There is no real elevation though there are a few "rooty" spots where you need to be sure to pick up your feet. Laid in a loop that circles a lake, Murphey Candler trail sits across from a community ball park and is approximately 1.7 miles. We will plan on running 2 laps.

Regular runners/trail joggers may wish to run an additional lap(s) to fill in the full hour.

We will meet at the fishing dock/viewing deck in front of the parking area across from the ball field. From there, we will run counter-clockwise around the lake a couple of times. I plan to jog at a 5 - 5.5 mph (talking) pace. You may choose to jog at a faster or slower pace. We will meet back at the deck after 2 laps.
