Distance is 9.5 km and elevation is 300m
No change to this Leg. Exit Softball Valley east up Gun Range Hill, follow their fence around the top of the gun range, and then turn right towards the chain-link fence (old garbage dump). Drop down and then up Ryan’s Hill. Turn left/west at the top and run the Roller Coaster down to the dog park. Cross the road and take the trail above the dog park to the Alexander Park hills. (Note: The Dog Park Bypass trail, which is now shared with southbound runners on Leg 5, is located on this hillside.) Continue north and climb and descend the hills to drop down at the Alexander bathrooms. Travel west on the shale pathway for only 100 m and take a right/north onto single track. If you go too far on the shale path, you will hit Leg 5 and be lost forever… Enjoy the Hardieville Hills to Pavan Park Aid Station (mandatory check-in).
