COURSE SELECTION
7.45 Trail Run – Wilderness Trail
5k Trail Run – Clear Pond
Challenge – Both Trails
The 7.45 mile course, which is 95% trail, heads east out of the park before turning into the woods, where the adventure really begins. You will climb and descend steep hills, cross creeks and bridges, and if you are lucky, see deer and other wildlife. This is a scenic and challenging run.
The 5K run is a rustic trail that wraps around clear pond and takes you down spooky hollow and up the steps to 7. Follow the signs for the Clear (Pond) Trail.
Challenge yourself and do both trails. Times for each race are below:
