Course Map: 

• The varsity course is 5k in length and consists of two trips around the loop shown on the map. At the end of the second loop the course bears left around and between baseball fields to the finish line (which also serves as the starting line). 

• The JV course is also two loops with the same finish. The JV course loop cuts off the eastern-most section of the varsity loop--that is, the part that heads east away from College Pond and almost reaches Merriam Road before turning back towards the pond. The overall length of the JV course is 2.43 miles, just under 4 km.

The 5k course covers about 1.2k of grass, 3k of dirt trails/dirt road (with a few sections where there also is some gravel on the dirt), and 800m of asphalt (mostly sidewalk and a bit of the driveway leading to the park from Concord Road). If you're wearing spiked shoes they should be fitted with blanks or 1/8" pyramids. The course is fairly flat. 

 

Trails are quite wide, should be no issues with passing except for one 40 meter stretch (which is run twice, near the mile mark and then at about 4k).  

 

• Burchard Park has been used as Weston's home course since 2017, here is the performance list for WHS athletes who have raced on the course in the past. 

Meet Information:
