It's hard to see what purpose this would serve. You wouldn't be able to hold a serious meet there, since people wouldn't be on an equal footing if they ran in lanes, and even for a waterfall start you'd have to start people on gravel and send them across some wood chips and grass to get to the 3 lanes of Mondo. It wouldn't be equitable. And have you ever run on wood chips? They're one of the worst surfaces I've ever run on. Thick mud is worse, but wood chips suck whether the ground is wet or dry.
My high school cross country team had a 600-650-meter grass repeat course that sent us into a low miniature valley and across some wood chips. The wood chips were my least favorite part of the workout, including the pain.
