| The

course is run on the Forest Akers Golf course. It is a fast course
with a great chance for personal records. It is also
a good spectator course as there are many spots to see
the runners at various stages of the race. |

racing just before us. Also, many alum that attend MSU, including Coach
Redies, will be there. It's a great day for Saline CC!
-This course is on a golf
course, so it will be very slow if it is wet, and very fast if it is
dry!
