The path is fairly primitive- dirt with ubiquitous rocks. 

The picture of the path was made with Google Earth.

Both the 3K and 5K runs and walks begin and end in the front of the park under the telephone wires.

They proceed NW.

The 3K's do one big loop.

The 5K's do two laps and take the red cutoff both laps. They go all the way to 170th the first lap, then cut down across the dry lakebed the second lap.
