Arcata Bottom Virtual Run
Start at the first pole on the left. That is also the finish so no one goes into the parking lot of the church. Follow the red line for the first half of the run and the blue line for the second half. Directions are below.
Parking
The church has allowed us to use the parking spaces nearest Janes Road and ask that we only use these parking spots.

This is the start and finish. You will start and finish in the same direction. The finish marker is on a post, but should be the chalk line. It is about 20 yards west of Janes Road on Bay School Road.

Most of the course is marked in white chalk with staked markers. Markers can be removed, so I added chalk. At the end of the second trip down Dolly Varden, I used blue chalk.
