This trail 5k is a great beginner friendly race with varied terrain and some slight elevation - perfect for the road runner wanting to try a trail run. It's also a good opportunity for an experienced trail runner to do some speed work. 

Teams of 3 elementary school students will each run one mile of the 5K course. Teams from all grades will compete for their team to determine which school wins the prestigious Y Cup for the 25-26 school year.

This year’s Y Cup Relay will be run in honor of Coach Jerry Webb who was a beloved Physical Education teacher at Highland School and an active part of the Y Cup Relay since it began.  His support and enthusiasm for this event was contagious and resulted in a great turn out of young runners.

A free race for kids 6 and under on the dirt roads of Ives Farm. Kids will get a chance to run through the same race finish line as all other racers.
