Mostly fast and flat thanks to its location along creek and river trails, the “1/2 Sauer 1/2 Kraut” race also features plenty of stretches shaded by trees. Runners start the race near the southern end of Pennypack Park, along the trail just off Shawn Street. From there, the course winds northwest through the park all the way up to a loop section just before Fox Chase Farm, where runners encounter the “Mount Cuckoo” section, a one-mail trail between miles 6 and 7.
