RUN COURSE FOR CRUISER & DRIFTER: The 5K (3.1 mile) run course is an out-and-back route on the bike path around Aurora Reservoir. The run leaves the upper parking lot and travels to a turn-around point, then returns via the same route to finish near the Picnic Pavillions. The run course is the same for both 5k’s of the Drifter.
RUN COURSE FOR MINI-CRUISER: The 1.5 mile run course is the same as above, however the turnaround will be at around the ¾ mile mark into the run course and then back to the finish near the Picnic Pavillions.
BIKE COURSE FOR CRUISER & DRIFTER: The bike course is a rolling paved route which goes through the Aurora reservoir, from the upper parking lot, taking a right at the road to the scuba beach, where there is a turnaround, then right down the road that exits the Aurora reservoir, then right on on Quincy for about 1 mile to the Entrance to the Youth Facility “Ridgeview Road”, you will go left on Ridgeview Road to a turn-around point, then back to Quincy, right on Quincy to Powhaton Road (entrance to the reservoir), left on Powhaton Road back to the transition area.
BIKE COURSE FOR MINI-CRUISER: The bike course is a rolling paved route which goes through the Aurora Reservoir ONLY. This bike course does not go onto Quincy Avenue. The course is the same as the course listed above, except at the intersection of Quincy Avenue and Powhaton Road (main road through Aurora Reservoir), instead of turning right on Quincy, you will turn around and ride back to the Transtion Area.
We will have a dedicated sheriffs deputy on a motorcycle cruising the course just for your safety (as well as officers with cars and lights flashing at every intersection). The roads will be swept by a street sweeper a few days before the race.
