Notes:

• Except for water stop locations, this course is essentially identical with the course starting at Lake Audubon Pool. 
• The parking area is accessible from either Steeplechase or Reston Parkway but it is blocked to prevent pass through.  If a large crowd is expected, you'll more likely find a parking space if you access the parking lot from Steeplechase instead of Reston Parkway.
