Monte Sano State Park
A Huntsville Track Club Grand Prix Event
The races will be run on paved roads and enters the woods for a short distance. This is a beautiful rolling, shady course on top of Monte Sano Mountain. The course is a 5K loop that is run twice for the 10K race. The course is certified by USA Track & Field.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
PARKING: There will be NO PARKING along the road to the Lodge. Please enter to park at the pavilion as in years past.
NOTE: Due to the large number of runners in this race and the narrowness of the course along the gravel road we ask that you DO NOT run 2 or more abreast on the trail section of this race course. Doing so makes it hard for people to pass. Please be considerate of your fellow runners.
Thanks.
