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!

Sponsor - Harpoon Brewery

All participants of legal age can enjoy a cold Harpoon beer after the race.

X-Treme Scramble - Enjoy samples from Moe's Southwest Grill

After the run, enjoy great food from Moe's Southwest Grill and Kayem while listening to our live band along the river. Don't forget to thank our sponsors for their support.

*Every Scramble is different* - you may cross over the river on Founders Bridge and take the switchback ramp down onto the path along Great River Park. You may follow the path south past the boat ramp and amphitheater. You might wade along the beach on the river and up and over the hill back to the path.
You might run across the bridge and down the stairs to Charter Oak Landing and follow the trail into Charter Oak Landing. You may even 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, you'll 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.
