DESCRIPTION

F.A.Q.s WHAT IS THIS COURSE LIKE? Get ready for a challenge!
Although not certified yet, you will want to be the
first on this brand new course! The OBEROD course
is exactly 5 kilometers of off‐road grass trails. This is,
without question, one of the most challenging 5K
courses on the east coast with its 400 foot elevation
climbs, and rolling ranges. There are sections of this
course that you have to see to believe but when you
finish, you will feel like you have conquered a mountain.
The start is a downhill 300 meters and the finish is on
the plush green lawn of the backyard of the historic
OBEROD mansion. Throughout the course, there are
two foot bridges to cross, "pine tree alley" and a
fast‐finish half mile. Best footwear on this course is a
spiked shoe but racing flats or running shoes will also work fine.
