Description
Just like our bootleggin’ ancestors, see if you can make it through the moonlit woods to get to the stompin’ grounds, where you can enjoy moonshine and flatfoot it to live music. The trails will be marked with tea lights all along the way. Bring a headlamp and a friend and enjoy the most unique race in the area!
