2nd toughest xc 5k i've run on behind only Brandywine in Wilmington. Flagpole Hill is at the start and is done again in the 3rd mile. 2nd mile (the woods) used to be better but the City put down rocks on the access road making it tough for spikes. 2nd mile has Parachute Hill, steeper/shorter than Flagpole. Overall, my favorite course but would like to see rocks replaced with softer surface. Old 5mile college portion has been abandoned but there is talk of restoring it.
