Organiser's Description
Sunday, June 8, 2025.Sometimes you just feel like running.
The Northumberland Run Forest Run will give you a chance to move your legs through some beautiful forest trails. You can pick one of 4 options. You can run The Jenny which is a 4 hour run that happens on a 3K loop. You love the loop so much you visit it again and again and again. Challenge yourself to see how many Jennys you can complete in 4 hours. You will get to know this trail so well it will be as familiar as peas and carrots.If you are looking for a different challenge, you can do The Lieutenant Dan. This run explores a wonderful 7.5K loop. You may need some magic legs to help with some of those steep hills. You will run one loop as fast as you can.We also have the Benjamin Buford Blue, but people just call it The Bubba. A fantastic 9K loop that should get you well acquainted with the forest. You may choose to run this one with your best friend and talk about all the ways you can enjoy a day in the forest. You can run, you can walk, you can stroll, you can ..... The Bubba is a one loop run.And for no particular reason, you may decide to go for a little longer run. You can complete one loop of the Jenny. And when you get done, you can do a loop of the Lieutenant Dan. And when you finish that, you run the Bubba. And you may figure, since you ran this far, maybe you should run to Lookout Mtn using an out-and-back route for a total of 24.6K. And at the end, you may find yourself pretty tired, but happy to know you just completed The FULL GUMP.This event is self-supported. Participants are responsible for their own nutrition and water.
