X-Treme Scramble Riverfront Twilight 5K Course Map
Are you kidding? This course is so wacko; there is no way to put it on a map! Just be prepared for wet sand, dirt paths, rocky hills, grassy knolls, stair climbs and even a little asphalt! It is definitely not your high school track. So lighten up, don’t take your time too seriously on this one - just do it for the party at the end!

Start above the majestic Connecticut River on the Founders Bridge Promenade, cross over river on Founders Bridge and take the switchback ramp down onto the path along Great River Park. Follow the path south past the boat ramp and amphitheater. Wade along the beach on the river and up and over the hill back to the path. Climb to the Staircase of the Charter Oak Bridge. Run across the bridge and down the stairs to Charter Oak Landing. Follow the trail into Charter Oak Landing and proceed north through the park along the riverbank. Climb over the Park River and continue south to the finish beneath Mortensen Riverfront Plaza.

Portions of this course might get you wet, might make you curse, might make you dirty – but it will all make you smile.
Then, smell the burgers on the grill, hear the cheering crowds, listen to the band and climb back up to Mortensen Riverfront Plaza for the best post race party of the summer. |
