Organiser's description

Join us on the beautiful Warren Wilson College campus trails as we run a series of races on Thursday evenings in the month of June! You'll begin on South Lane (farm access road), loop around the farm, head uphill on pine needle-covered trails and around a crops clearing, and head toward the Swannanoa River on shade-covered switchbacks. Making your way along the river trail, you'll ascend through the garden to the finish. The course is 5k of pure cross country running - on a series of dirt trails, gravel, grass, and a bit of asphalt.

Age group winners will be awarded medals at each individual race. Overall series winners will be awarded according to cumulative efforts in at least 3 of the 4 races! You may choose to register for 1 or more of the races individually, or register for the entire series!
