COURSE:
Course Map [https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2815815?units=km] The race starts and ends in Stilson Parking Lot, making a loop of the new pathway along the south side of Highway 22 to Wilson. The course starts with a ~.4mi loop in the parking lot, and then joins the community pathway system. Just before the 2-mile mark, runners will cross under Highway 22 and follow the pathway to the junction with HHR Road. Runners will turn right/north on HHR Road and run along the road for a short section before hopping back onto the pathway just past Wilson Elementary School. There will be a water station at the entrance to the pathway. Runners will remain on the pathway until the 3-mile mark, where a right turn will take you back into Stilson and to the finish line.
SNEAKERS4GOOD:
Donate your used sneakers and running shoes to a good cause at the race. The sneakers will benefit Teton Trail Runners as well as support micro-enterprises in 25 developing countries. The athletic shoes will be given a second life as well as kept out of landfills where they can take decades to fully decompose. Visit Sneakers4Good.com [https://sneakers4good.com/] to learn more!
