Organiser's Description
A unique 5K Trail Run through and along bottom land and upland forests. The run starts by following the Broad River and Blue Stone Creek and at the highest elevation offers stunning vistas of the Broad River and forest river valley.
Walkers are welcome, and there will be a shorter walking loop for those who don't want to do the full 5K.
Following the run there will be an optional group Polar Plunge in the Broad River. We'll all be "freezin for a reason" together -- proceeds support the Broad River Watershed Association's water quality monitoring program.
