5K (9:15am Start) The perfect race for experienced trail runners or first timers alike! Narrow trails wind up and down hills and around woodland ponds. Lots of uneven and tricky footing, rustic bridges and stream crossings will keep you on your toes!

Weather may affect trail conditions. Because parts of the half-marathon course are relatively inaccessible, it is possible that an injured runner might have to wait for emergency medical care.
