Virginia Wesleyan: [larger map]
The Virginia Wesleyan 8K XC is a two loop course starting and finishing in the field to the left of Wesleyan Drive as you enter campus.

The first loop consists of a short prologue around the grounds in front of campus before circling past the start finish area and heading out on the main course. The course winds around campus and through the woods. After exiting the woods, the course proceeds around the soccer fields in front of the campus and back to the start/finish area. The second loop circles the start/finish area again and follows the same course as the first loop with the exception of the prologue. Upon returning to the start/finish area the third time, follow the cones to the finish line. Please review the course map and instructions prior to beginning the race.
