Lake Andrea Running Path

The Lake Andrea running path has been re-routed around the pool construction. It now goes around the IcePlex/RecPlex buildings, out to Terwall Terrace. If running on the path, please use caution on the road, since that section is used for the Day Camp drop-off and pick-up.

The closed section is not part of the Trek or Danskin Triathlon run courses.
