What is it? A true crit/time trial course that runs through, and on the edges, of Dorothea Dix Park. This 2.55 mile course is rolling, but not as hilly as the last two weeks.

Where do I park? You can park by the Soccer Fields in the Sunflower Parking area located around 75 Hunt Dr, Raleigh, NC 27603.
Where do I start? At the Sunflower Parking sign/on the road at the Soccer Field turn in on Hunt Drive.
Where do I turn once I’ve started? Most turns are marked here, but not all. If you need to, print out this first image, or save it to your phone.
Where do I finish? Back where you started!
What do I do after I finish? Check out the sunflowers!
When can I run? Anytime between now and midnight on Sunday, July 21st.
