So, tomorrow's race is over at Northampton Park; I will include directions from Schroeder below. We have never run at Northampton. The course was added in 2006 and has been revised a couple of times since then, with the final revision happening in 2009. The ski hill which is ascended shortly after the two mile mark is the signature feature of the course. It is open, so it is easy to see the runners attacking the hill, but much of the race is contested on trails outside of the spectators' view. The best views are from the start into the woods, a visible loop leading up to the mile mark and beyond (the runners loop back behind the starting line, the hill area after the two mile mark, and a short stretch leading to the finish (which is quite close to the starting line).
