Official Short Cuts

One somewhat unique aspect of the course I have crafted is just about any wrong turn you take will shorten the loop.  I was initially planning to mark short-cuts around the two nastiest hills on the course, but upon reflection I now plan to take this idea even farther.

Throughout the course, there will be marked "cheats" that will cut off anywhere from a few hundred yards to a mile or so.  This will allow slower runners to keep pace with a faster group, and is intended to make running your planned distance an even harder mental challenge than normal.  Sure you can do a point-to-point run, or maybe even an out-and-back.  But can you go the distance with officially marked short-cuts luring you to cut off just that one tiny bit?
