EK Phipps Park 3k/5k Course Tour
AS OF ~2009, COURSE HAS CHANGED! I'll leave up this gallery for historical purposes.
2011 3Km and 5Km course GPS tracks from my course prep for the 8 October 2011 Godby HS Cougar XC Challenge. I've prepared 3Km and 5Km maps with splits. If you like this sort of trivia, I have the GPS tracks from my lead bike duties during the 2011 Cougar XC Challenge. In chronological order: Developmental & Community Open 5Km, Girls' Varsity 5Km, Boys' Varsity 5Km, and Middle School Boys and Girls 3Km.
FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES, NO LONGER APPLICABLE:
An every 50m look at this great course, first run in 2006.
3Sep07 GPS track may be viewed here.
Best results when the .kml file is loaded into Google Earth.
The white tents showing up in the fields on Google Earth were for the 2007 Red Hills Horse Trials. They are not installed year-round.
The course was first used for Coach Chris Sumner's Godby Cougar XC Challenge, 16 September 2006.
It was next the venue for the 28 Oct 2006 FHSAA 2A District 1 XC Meet hosted by Florida High.
It's the location for the 10 September 2007 Godby Cougar XC Challenge.
As of FRIDAY, 7Aug07, the course tread and parking area have been mowed. Thanks specifically to TPRD's Carlos for doing a great job on that again this year! Also to TPRD's Chuck Goodheart, Jimbo Herring, and Herman James for expert assistance.
PRINT A COURSE MAP AND FOLLOW ALONG, OK?
I shot most of these photos 13 October 2006. Most of these photos were shot at a normal (for humans in our atmosphere) field of view. So the perspective will be life-like. I've tried to label the ones shot at a wider field of view. In those shots, things will appear farther away than they really are. Those ~30 photos were taken when the course was being set up in September. You might recognize those shots by my frequent comments about getting rained on. They were all shot with a wide-angle lens setting.
