Details
Dogs: We kindly ask that you leave your pups at home. While we love dogs, we aren’t set up to manage safe dog/dog or dog/human interactions during the event. Thanks so much for understanding!
Strollers: It is a cross-country course, so if you have an off-road stroller you’re welcome to use it, but please let the other runners go first and be prepared for uphill pushing.
Course
The 5k cross country course will be flat and fast. The course will wind through rows of evenly spaced trees, a solar field, and around lush green fields at Ruppert Nurseries & Ruppert Landscape HQ. Walkers are welcome and will start in the second wave.
Fun Run
Our 1-mile Fun Run which will loop around a block of trees and is perfect for kids or those needing a shorter route. $15 registration is required.
Post-Race
