Branch Brook Park is a long, tree-lined urban park, and in early fall the canopy is starting to turn. The course stays on road the whole way, running through the park's main corridors, and the design is meant to suit runners chasing a personal best. The terrain is flat enough to move well on, and the park setting keeps it from feeling like a generic road race.
