The course will span from downtown Oswego to nearby parks, offering diverse terrain that changes with the day's weather. On race days in August, runners can expect mild temperatures around 23°C (74°F), though a humidity level of 72.6% might make it feel slightly warmer than expected. A gentle breeze at about 10.6 km/h will provide some relief from the heat. The course is marked by mile markers and other notable features, ensuring clear visibility for all participants. Runners can start their journey or take a break anytime between 6:15 PM and 7:15 PM when the course remains open until everyone has completed their chosen distance.

Participants should prepare for a comfortable but warm evening as they make their way through the city's streets and parks.
