Amenities:
Course 1 (run and walk) - A scenic, rolling hills course on grass and gravel that is great for both beginners and “seasoned” trail blazers looking for a challenge. Since this is a run on nature’s trails, the course will be as close to 5K as we can get it!.
Course 2 (walk only) - An easy stroll around the property for those unable to tackle the challenging hills. This is all flat and good for strollers, young children and elderly.
Race Results: Race will be professionally timed by the Miles of Smiles TIming Services.; Results will be found at http://www.smileymiles.com
Questions: Send emails to [email protected] and type “5K Race Director” in subject line.
