The Long Sheep Pens Run (5.2 miles) typically begins and ends at the UI Memorial Gym parking lot entrance. It is a pleasant run through the Palouse agricultural countryside and then returns back through town. Remember, if the gates are closed on the road through the Sheep Farm be sure to close them again after you pass through! The hill at the far end offers a great view of Moscow Mountain.
The Short Sheep Pens Run (4.5 miles) is the same as above, except you do not go up and back the hill at the end of Harden Road. Rather, you just turn right on Almon and return to the beginning.
If you want to shorten your run to 4 miles, the 2 mile turnaround point is at 1151 Harden Road, a little brown roofed house on the west side of Harden.
Start and finish at the University of Idaho Memorial Gym on South Rayburn. Get off on US270(W-ID8) heading west from US95, and turn left on Rayburn after about 3/4 mile. The gym is a large brick building with gargoyles.
