It is located in front and to the west of the High School building with the finish on the 50-yard line of the Football field. If you are traveling from Fayetteville you will take Highway 16 East to Elkins Public School the High School is located on the right side of the Highway West of the Football Field. Course: The course is a relatively flat course, primarily grass surface, however, it will crossover some concrete and our new track surface so we are asking that only 1/4 inch spikes be worn.
