About the Footsteps for Fred Timed 1.5 & 5K
The course runs through a residential lakeside neighborhood, passing lake houses along the way. It does a couple of loops, so you see the same scenery come around again, and the surroundings are quiet and wooded. Expect the kind of natural setting where foliage and water are the backdrop for most of your run.
