Directions
Take I-74 West to Peoria.
Take Exit 93 (Adams St./IL-29) toward Jefferson Avenue / Downtown Peoria / Greater Peoria Regional Airport. Turn RIGHT onto US-24 E / NE Adams St. / IL-29 N.
Proceed about 8 miles on IL-29 N.

Parking option #1: Look for the entrance to the golf course on the right. Turn right at the golf course and park on the frontage road going north. Walk back across Rt. 29 and you'll see the U-High 'camp' on the left or close by.

Parking option #2: proceed on Rt. 29 to the entrance of Detweiller Park on the left. If you choose this option, be prepared for a long walk to the camp :)

There are port-a-potties near the finish line of the course. There are also nice restrooms near the parking area at the entrance to the park (north of the course). Sometimes they have concessions at these big Peoria meets. Sometimes t-shirts are sold.

The course starts slightly downhill from the south edge of the park. The runners then make one nearly complete circuit of the field, ducking though some trees at the end of the lap into a separate field for about a half mile. Then it's back to the main field for another lap and half to the finish.
