Need help for a run on a sloped yard

Whatever you do, do NOT add sand to the mix! You’d end up with concrete!

And create a waterfall.

Only if you also add cement to the mix. I've read that before and it is just not right. The best soil for runs has enough sand in it so it drains instead of holds water like clay. You do not have to add sand but adding sand will not turn it into concrete. It may help a clay run from setting up hard as concrete after it gets wet.

Have you ever been to a sandy beach? Those do not turn into concrete when it rains. Why would people set playground equipment in sand if it were going to turn into concrete.
