We are excited to open up our Course Preview to all participants of the Harepin Hustle Trail Runs! Whether you are getting out your pre-race nerves, working on your pacing, or looking to meet new running friends, you are invited to join us for ~3 or 5 Miles of the course (the new 286 portion of the course)!
We will have some of our trail coaches and mentors there to help you through, as well as hydration and snacks! Meet at and get a taste of the race in this casual pace run.
The course will not be marked but we will have pace group leaders and will follow the trails.
