Good to know
The City describes two half-mile loops, while the same page displays 0.5 mile and 10 feet of change, apparently for one loop. This record uses one mile to complete both. The Challenge Loop reaches an 8.5% maximum grade; cross-slope and width are not published. Benches, shade ramadas, and drinking fountains provide rest stops.
