The course at Old Town House Park is run entirely on permanent paths, offering a mostly flat terrain along a 10-foot-wide walking and bicycle path.

Runners will enjoy a diverse and engaging route, passing by railroad cars, urban sights, pockets of trees, and natural scenery, with the added charm of painted kindness rocks along the way. A notable feature is the slight incline of a bridge on the return route, which some participants have found to be a surprisingly rewarding challenge. The start is conveniently located next to the main parking lot by the park entrance off Old Town House Road.
