Kincaid Park hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This hill stretches for more than a half-mile of continuous elevation gain or loss, depending on which direction you're headed. If you've started your run from the Kincaid Chalet and are heading roughly northwest, it's a nice downhill warm-up. If you're heading southeast to finish your run at the chalet this hill can feel like a personal attack, coming as it does at the very end of your run. But burning lungs and quads are good for the soul, right?
