Course Maps & Description
Burke Lake offers several distinct course configurations depending on the starting shelter. Shelter A routes run on fairly flat, well-maintained trail with some roots — out-and-back for the 5k and 10k, twice out-and-back for the half. Shelter C routes are mostly paved with a short gravel section and limited elevation gain. The Fireworks and Fall Burke Lake courses combine paved road with trail, with the first and last half mile on pavement.
5K/10K (Shelter A): Flat, well-maintained forest trail with some roots. Out-and-back.
Half (Shelter A): Same trail as the 5k/10k out-and-back, done twice.
5K/10K (Shelter C): Mostly paved path with a short gravel section. Limited elevation gain.
12K (Shelter C, Running Out of Time): Mostly paved with gravel section. 5k portion is flat; 12k adds some hills.
5K/10K (Fireworks/Fall Burke Lake): Combination of paved road and trail. First and last half mile on paved roads; trail section has some roots but no major elevation.
Back of the Pack (BOTP)
What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)? It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above. This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points.
