All  Racers, Runners, Joggers, and Hikers are invited to participate in this very friendly event. Many will register with 3 or 4 friends for an absolute EPIC morning in the forest and they also dress in "Storybook" character costumes! 

You have at least four hours to complete this very friendly trail event. Remember, you can just have a nice walk in the woods and still finish with smiles and friendships, anew! You will travel over a single and double track trail with a little elevation and a finalized course marking of 1.64 mile repeats (8 x's=13.1). The course will be well marked with yellow signs and   black arrows; no getting lost! A great first trail run experience!
