We wrapped up our 10-week fall Womens Trail Running clinic on Monday with a fantastic run at Seal Bay Park and a Christmas cookie swap at Liz's home! 
We ran from the Fitzell entrance around the perimeter of the park on the Huband/Mitchell road aspect. Then it was down to the Bates road entrance and all the way home up the middle of the park. There is some great elevation loss/gain in Seal Bay and we always get a great hill climb at some point in our runs there. There are a few different entrances to the park - Hardy, Fitzell, Mitchell, Huband, Bates and more! Try starting at a new spot and you will experience the park in a completely new light!
