🌟 Course and Finish Line

The event will take place at the large pavilion, just before start time, an announcement will be made, and we will all go to the Sharkey's parking lot where the start line is. The route is out of the parking lot, take a left (South), follow Harbor Drive all the way down to Casperson Beach, take a left at the end, go down and around the dirt loop, back North on Harbor Drive, then into the south parking lot - look for the volunteers waiving you in, around the lake and back up to the pavilion. You'll know you're close when you hear DJ Tony "The Party" Accardi, and his tunes! The Finish Line is at the after party, so finish with a BIG SMILE!!!
