First you get to see campus from the hillside in the 6k trail race on the Bell Memorial Trail on 2/28.
Next, come back on 3/21 to take a tour of Pitt Greensburg's campus in this 5k. The race is held on all pavement around campus. This course does have some rolling hills as you travel around the Milstein Library, Lynch Hall, and the Ridilla Athletic Fields.
When you complete both you're in the running for the Bobcat Challenge Award! Fastest combined time for top male and female finishing both races. There will also be awards in each race for overall, age groups, and top alumni!
