From the Race Organizer
Our location is the beautiful and peaceful Edgewood Park, just off Whalley Ave in the Westville section of New Haven. This scenic park has a rich history! It was designed in 1910 by Frederick Law Olmsted JR. (His dad designed Central Park in NYC as well as many others in CT and beyond.) OUR 5K COURSE - will stay within the park on its primary driveway/roads. You will travel by West River and the ponds within its borders. It’s safe, quiet, scenic, and NO Cars! The 5k Course map link- https://onthegomap.com/s/g3lthi2k Don't let the map scare you! Enlarge it so it is easy to see the OUT & BACK route. The course starts and ends near the pavilion in the park and travels out on the park road 1/2 mile. It then turns around and returns to the start area point. THE ONE MILE WALK ENDS THERE . The 5K then goes back out for one full mile . The second turn around of the 5k is at the far end of the park driveway. You then return to the finish to cover the 3.11 mi distance. Please ENLARGE the course
