COURSE:

5 (ish) mile Trail Run

Held at Bloomer Park on the mountain bike trails. All trails are 100% DIRT- more single track then wide track. Trails consist of dirt, sand, wooden bridges, rocks, roots, wooden stairs, downed trees and possibly mud (not a lot) if it rains!

This is a very challenging course with many rolling to STEEP HILLS and a few stairs too!! Elevation is approximately 1000 feet of total climb. This is not a race to get your PR in, but a great course to BRAG about!!!! Runners and Walkers are welcome 🙂 Course is not certified, distance and elevation was measured by Race Director GPS watch.
