Due to field renovation located on West Nancy Creek and Candler Lake East, the 2017 course will be changing.
2017 5K Course Description: This scenic 5K run will start and finish at the Murphey Candler Park Pool Parking lot. Starting in the neighborhood on Candler Lake West participants will run over the dam and proceed left on Candler Lake East. After a steep ascent up to Kittredge Magnet School, the course will once again meander through the park's wooded trails back down to the lake. Participants will finish last leg on the lake's west side trails ending at the pool lot. 2017 1-mile Fun Run Course Description: The entire fun run will be on the west side of the lake to avoid traffic on the dam. Participants will enjoy wooded trails, a lake view and a few rolling hills. Don't miss the goats! |
