UC Irvine Run Course

Hello everyone that is doing the UC Irvine Triathlon Tomorrow.

I just went and checked out the run course for the event tomorrow and wanted to let you know that it is a little interesting.

If you go on the website and they talk about the course being a dirt trail, THEY ARE NOT LYING!!!!
I believe I was following the course because I printed out the map and there were flags planted along the route, but you might be better off using hiking boots then running shoes for the second half of the 5K, especially when you get to the culver trail!!

It is a uneven dirt trail with plenty of shrubs and foliage with a mostly downhill grade through mile 1.5-3.0. I almost couldn't believe that this was the course when I was walking it, but according to the map and course markers I am correct.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up and be careful, because there could be some confusion and to let you know that the dirt single track trail that they talk about, is the real deal.

Good Luck to everyone tomorrow.
Brad
