Groundhog Day Marathon

Yesterday Ken Lusk and I went out and measured the Groundhog Day Marathon course.  It's BEAUTIFUL.  Even in the winter it will be great, but we're thinking that we need to run something out there before that, just to let people enjoy the beauty.  Cool course, just under 4.4 miles long--six laps to a marathon.  Would make a great marathon relay course.
