The 5km loop (15 km race) will be the 'full loop' at the McCabe Trails, plus a flat start loop out towards the school entrance.
The 3km loop (10 km race) will be a mix of flat and rolling terrain with a couple of small climbs, but avoids the biggest downhills and the most technical turns.
The 1km loop (3 km race) includes mostly flat and rolling terrain with a couple of short steep hills. Age groups are designed to encourage racers to participate in the length and difficulty of course that is most appropriate for that age group.
