Leader: Ali + Matt (and Gauss!)

For this loop around the Great Park area, we will meet in the parking lot for the Cypress Community Park in Irvine, off Roosevelt and Jeffrey Road by the athletic fields/tennis courts. After exiting the 5 freeway, Roosevelt is the first signal when heading North on Jeffrey Road. Turn right on Roosevelt, then right on Visions and the parking lot/park will be on your right.
Two routes have been provided to familiarize yourselves with the twists and turns of the route, see below (thanks Nicole):

About the Run: The full 12 mile run will start heading southbound on the Cypress Village Trail which is a stones throw from Jeffrey Road. The route will bend left and parallel the 5 freeway, and at mile ~1.3 we will turn left onto Tulip, which will continue all the way down to Trabuco Road. Make a right on Trabuco, which will turn into Great Park Blvd. Make a right on Ridge Valley. Then we’ll circle the Great Park, making a left onto Marine Way. Continue down Marine Way and turn left on Skyhawk. Continue along until Great Park Blvd and turn left on Great Park Blvd. Follow all the way until we turn left on Bosque; take this for just over a mile, passing Parasol Park on the right and continuing past the traffic circle to turn right and follow along Great Park Blvd (westbound). Take Great Park Blvd all the way back to Jeffrey Road, and turn left--a short hop down Jeffrey and we are back at Cypress Community Park where we started.

After the run: There are several spots to choose from across the street at the Cypress Village Shopping Center including Starbucks, Da Luau, and Flippoly.
