The course starts and finishes at a school campus pumpkin patch, which gives the whole morning an autumnal backdrop you don't often get at a road race. The route takes runners through a nature trail on campus, so expect a more natural surface underfoot rather than straight pavement.
After you finish, the pumpkin patch area stays open with vendor stalls set up around the campus, and families tend to linger to browse and walk the trail at their own pace.
