The course, designed and built by Mount Mercy University and the Cedar Rapids Parks and Recreation Department, provides runners with natural park-like settings, mowed fields, and wetland areas. It has multiple loops and a layout that serves 4K, 5K, 6K, and 8K races for high school and college events.
