The course runs on the paved roads inside Lake Crabtree Park, looping around with the lake as the backdrop. Several distance options mean you can pick how far you want to go. The surface is smooth, the terrain is gentle, and the whole thing wraps up well before noon, leaving the rest of New Year's Eve free.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 24:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (51 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 2 Miles winner ran 11:44 while the median finisher took 24:48. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
