THE COURSE
The course is run entirely on trails through Mine Falls. The terrain for the 5K is mostly flat, wide & well groomed. The footing is rugged but safe, over rocks, roots and packed dirt. The 5-mile race utilizes some of the lesser-used trails in the park, through winding single-track and rolling riverside paths. The trails are well-marked with chalk arrows and volunteers directing racers at major trail intersections.
