Course Descriptions
Freeze your Fanny & Labor Day 5K
Both courses start above Kiwanis Park on the upper levee system and head north. They follow the pathway around under both the blue interstate bridge and the railroad bridge. The turn around is approximately 0.50 miles past the railroad bridge and returns going to the lower levee pathway after going under the blue bridge on the return. You will go through the ponds then to the shelter area. The course is relatively flat with a net elevation loss of around 15 feet. There is an up and down when going under each of the bridges.
2008 Freeze your Fanny Course is New. Starts at the Southway Boat Ramp Parking Lot, goes south on the levees to the halfway point and returns to the start area.
Tri-State Outfitters and Hells Gate Duathlons & BIKE/RUN Portions of Triathlon
Both courses start with the run that begins at the first parking lot to the immediate right when entering the park. This is the same parking lot as the bike transition area. The run leaves the parking lot, heads north one mile then returns. The 2nd run will go out to the same turn around, however upon returning will enter the parking lot that is parallel to the bike transition area so that finishers are not in the same area as those still competing. The bike portion leaves the parking lot, out the park entrance onto Tammany Creek Road heading South. The turnaround is 6 miles out, just past lucky acres arena. The run starts flat then goes down slightly with about a quarter mile of gradual up when approaching the turn around, reversing all when returning. The bike has a short uphill when leaving the park then a gradual uphill throughout most of the out portion with some rollers along the way. You go down when approaching the turnaround. Reverse all when coming back in. Usually if there is a wind it comes out of the West and pushes you on the way out on the bike, but the downhill coming back in more than makes up for it. As an example when I ride this route I can average 16-18 mph going out but 21-25 coming in.
Twilight 5K
Starting above Kiwanis park shelter it heads north, circles around the Sacajawea Bronze ( just under one mile), returns south to just above the boat launch area near the parking lot south of grain growers, then returns north to finish in the Kiwanis shelter area. The course is relatively flat with a net elevation loss of around 15 feet. The only up and down is when you go under the blue bridge.
Doc Sears Fall Classic
Starting on the upper levee above Kiwanis Park, the walk portion (2 miler) heads north 1 mile (goes under blue bridge) then returns to the shelter area via the lower levee pathway through the ponds. The 5-mile run starts in the same spot, but will make a hairpin turn after going under the blue bridge, will go up the stairs onto the blue bridge, cross to the clarkston side, through the parking lot and then head south on the levees on the Washington side. It will continue until getting to the Southway Bridge, will go up the pathway and cross the bridge, then head north once getting back to the Idaho side, returning North to Kiwanis park. The course is relatively flat with a net elevation loss of approximately 15 feet. There is a down then up when going under the blue bridge, a down after crossing the blue bridge then an up and down when crossing the southway bridge.
