About the Safari Run course

The Safari Run course goes through the Safari Park and surrounding woods.
This is an all-terrain course, meaning there is gravel and uneven terrain, including trail creeks and woods.
The woods can be bypassed if you prefer. You may add another loop around the Safari Park instead.
There will be 2 small water crossings. Pavers/boards will be in place to help you cross, but they can also be jumped over.
The total course is about 3 miles if you choose the 5k wave and includes 2 loops through Safari Park, so you'll get to see lots of animals!
There is one water station, which you'll pass around mile 1 and mile 2.
