Description
Please join us on Saturday, May 1st from 9am to 12pm for a fun time in the woods. We will be meeting at Holly Rec State Park at the Overlook Trail Head. Our friends at Altra Running will be out with some demo shoes for us to hit the trails running. Not a runner? No worries, these shoes make for great hiking, walking or kicking around in shoes. Come out and check out the awesome "foot shaped" shoes that Altra produces and "embrace the space"!
Also onsite will be Tailwind. Tailwind is a powdered form of nutrition that is widely popular amongst marathon runners and ultra marathon runners. Tailwind combines complete fuel, hydration, and electrolytes in a tasty drink that won’t turn your stomach into a brick. The beauty of Tailwind is that you can make it in a concentrate form for long runs and it can last you the whole event or if your doing an event where you can refill your water bottle you can mix it up as you need it. We will have samples at Overlook, if you have a handheld we ask that you please use that but if not we will have small cups onsite and our staff will safely serve you.
This is a completely free event, we ask that you be cautious that if you don't own a State Park pass you might have to buy a day pass at the Holly Rec State Park entrance. Mask are not required while running on the trails but we do ask that they be worn while checking in and out shoes and that you please respect the boundaries of others. Once you hit the trails you're more than welcome to take off your mask and take in the sights and smells of Holly Rec. Please respect the mask rule for the safety of our staff, our Altra Rep, our customers and our friends!
If you've never been to Holly Rec, there are two distinct loops. Starting from overlook you can do the "Lake Loop" which is approximately 3 miles, or you can head out to the "Wilderness Loop" which is approximately 6 miles. Both loops have their fair share of challenges, feel free to do either of the loops or if you're feeling really good help yourself to both! Below you will find a link to a Strava map showing you the map of the course.
