Pasted below are the 10Kish and 10ish mile route we pulled together for the Thanksgiving "Ten Before Turkey" runs. They have not been measured, are just based on some known distances and approximations. Any of you GPS data junkies out there are welcome to measure, revise, and repost. Wink

Ten Before Turkey Routes
Start at the Solomons Food Lion

Approximate 10K:
 Turn left to exit parking lot and go south on HG Truman Road
 Pass McD’s, Burger King, Solomons Landing, and Patuxent Adventure Center on your left
 Turn left between Fast Stop and the Woodburn’s strip mall
 Turn right to cut through the Holiday Inn parking lot
 Follow the beaten (dirt) path through the pine trees
 Continue south on unnamed road – keep the row of Leland cypress trees on your right to go behind the car wash and medical center. A boatyard will be on your left
 Turn right at end of unnamed road onto Lore Road
 Turn left onto route 2 (main road in Solomons) at end of Lore Road
 Continue south on rt 2
 Pass the Calvert Marine Museum on your left
o Option: turn left on Langley Lane and then right on Sedwick or Calvert to get off the main road. The neighborhood is a grid, so turn right on any street (Avondale, C, or Alexander) to get back to rt 2/the main road
 Follow rt 2 south past gazebo and Riverwalk on right
 Follow the loop around and pass the Tiki Bar on your right.
 Turn right at the end. The river will then be on your left and Chesapeake Biological Lab on your right.
 Turn left onto Patuxent Avenue (one-way street) at the end follow it as it curves to the right. The river will be on your left.
 Continue north on Riverwalk towards the bridge
 At end of Riverwalk, continue north on rt 2
 When you get to the Marine Museum on your right, cross the road to get more shoulder and sidewalks as you head north.
 Continue north on HG Trueman Road to Newtown Road
 Turn right on Newtown Road to go behind Food Lion strip mall
o Option for a little extra: turn right on Lore Pines road to go into Harbor Point neighborhood for an out-and-back
 Turn left onto Dowell Road at the end of Newtown.
 Turn left at end of Dowell Road onto HG Trueman Road
 Pass the firehouse on your left
 Return to Food Lion

Approximate 10 miler:
 Complete most of the 10K above.
 Instead of turning left onto Dowell Road from Newtown, turn right onto Dowell
 Turn left to go in Annemarie Gardens. Follow the loop of the paved path through the woods
 Exit Annemarie Gardens and turn left to continue down Dowell Road
 Turn left on Curtis Lane. Follow to end and turn around.
 Just before the end of Curtis, turn left onto Osprey Lane. Do the out and back of the Osprey Cove neighborhood.
 Turn left to continue down Dowell Road
 Pass Grandmother’s Store on your left, then turn around at the brick pillars at the Calvert Marina entrance
 Turn left on Bean Road for an out and back
 Turn left to continue on Dowell Road
 Turn left at end of Dowell Road onto HG Trueman Road
 Pass the firehouse on your left
 Return to Food Lion

For more than 10
Don’t turn around at the brick pillars at the Calvert Marina entrance. Keep going and enjoy the water view for a little while. Turn around when you’re ready. There are also several other out and back roads on Dowell you can take for extra mileage.

The fine print: These distances of these routes are very rough. They are not measured, just based on some known segments. Drafted November 2007.
