Run through lush forest, fern-lined single-track, over hills and along marshes, just minutes from the city.
 
This is the FIRST event that kicks off our Series, featuring a 5 and 10-mile option. The series runs on the second Saturday of each month:

Check out the video preview of the 5-mile loop HERE!
 
 

The single 5.14-mile loop starts and finishes at Sky Country Trailhead.

The course begins heading up Clay Pit Road and shortly connects with a mix of wider and moderately hilly single-track trails.  Although not highly technical, the course does involve negotiating logs and potentially unsteady footing over rocks and roots.  The course is slightly muddy in areas, but the majority of the trails are in great shape and very runnable! 

There will be one aid station around mile 3 that will provide standard trail run snacks--cookies, gels/chews, fruit, candy--water and electrolyte drink.
