About the Woodland ROAR Run
The course starts at a middle school and winds through a golf course and the surrounding neighborhood. It is an evening race, so the light is different from a typical morning run, and the golf course gives it an open, spacious feel between the neighborhood stretches. The event benefits the school's PTA, so the crowd skews toward families with kids at the school.
