THIS YEAR, WE ARE ARE PROVIDING TWO (2) ROUTE OPTIONS: a) traditional ROAD 5K, or b) a TRAIL 5K--while a bit more challenging, this beautiful course has been created by cutting wide swaths of grassy paths for the runners to meander through. These trails have been strategically-carved out to ensure a fun, family oriented end of summer run. Come see what it's all about.
