5k Route

The image is a map showing a running or walking route in Cumberland, Rhode Island, with a red path outlining the course. The route starts near Cumberland High School, passes through residential neighborhoods, and loops around areas near Dulles Street, Roosevelt Road, and Apache Lane before returning toward the school. Key features: Three numbered markers (1, 2, and 3) possibly indicating mile markers or key waypoints. Cumberland High School and Cumberland High Track are visible, suggesting a connection to a school-related event. Natural surroundings include the Blackstone River Reservoir, National Forest, and Shady River Conservation Area. Nearby landmarks include Northern Lincoln Elementary School and Manville Pond. The mapped route suggests a community 5K or fitness event, likely combining urban and natural elements for an enjoyable outdoor experience.
The image is an elevation profile chart for a route, showing elevation changes over distance. The x-axis represents distance in miles (ranging from 0 to approximately 2.6 miles), while the y-axis represents elevation in feet (ranging from 126 ft to 372 ft). Key details: Starting elevation: 282 ft Maximum elevation: 290 ft Total elevation gain: 129 ft The chart indicates a mostly flat course with minor elevation changes, featuring small rolling hills and dips but no significant climbs. This suggests a moderate and relatively easy route, likely suitable for runners, walkers, or cyclists.
