Please note that fees and time limits apply, unless otherwise mentioned below. Events are typically not canceled due to bad weather.


This event will be held at Fremont Central Park (also known as Lake Elizabeth), near picnic area C. There will be no water put out on the course, although there are drinking fountains at various locations in the park.

We have reserved picnic area C, north of the Start and Finish, next to the lake.

Special Deal

Run the Orange or Green course and get all the other courses for free. We had two people run all four courses at Vasona Park. Will there be any more on these longer courses?

Alternative Registration

Since we aren't allowed to take money on city property, we will extend credit to all, and give you an envelope to send in your fees after the fact.

Picnic Lunch?

We plan to light some charcoal in the Bar-B-Que pit and have it ready for cooking at noon, so feel free to bring something to cook and share the fire.

Course Notes

There are some out-of-bounds areas marked on the map, which you will need to respect. Additionally, you are to stay off of private property if you choose to run through the home subdivision. Streets and sidewalks are just fine. There is no known poison oak. The lake is closed and is out-of-bounds (i.e., no swimming to your controls).

Girl Scout Juniors

Come and earn your "Finding Your Way" badge. The program is from 9:45 AM to 1:30 PM. The cost is $11 to run the COOL course. Please notify the event director if you are coming, so that we have enough materials and can provide you with more information.
