Once out of Transition you will head back down towards the water and run along the sea wall for a short period and then head up onto the Webb Soccer Field. A short Dash across the field and you will come to the ROCK. The ROCK is by the fence into Welwyn Preserve and you will need to go over it or around it. Once in Welwyn Preserve you'll head down to the water for a run along the waters edge before heading into the forest for the trail portion of the run. You should be prepared for rocks, roots and running on trails. It's beautiful inside the preserve. Once you complete the trail portion you will be on the Welwyn Preserve Roads and head out the Front Gate and head down Crescent Beach Road to the Main Gate of Webb Institute. From the Main Gate you'll be greeted by the View of Webb and by the cheering fans as you come down the home stretch.

We'll have Water and Gu at each stop being handed out by some great volunteers.
