The course goes through the fern-lined 3 Ponds area, through the arboretum, and reaches the westernmost point at the Double G trail. The return route includes the technical single-track Chestnut Oak trail and the rolling hills of the Prairie Grass trail, with a fast technical descent on the LNE trail before the finish at the Nature Center.
