Parking: 

There should be plenty of spaces, but feel free to carpool with a friend to maximize parking.  There will likely be soccer going on in the morning, so that may reduce parking.  We can park close to the basketball court and also in the lawn between the tennis court and the pavilion.  See picture below.  

As this is a Non-Profit Trail Run, we will not offer any refunds as all money goes back to our great community. 

Please NO use of headphones during the race.  As this is a trail race, with some tight single-track parts, we need to keep runners safe, and headphones make it hard to pass and communicate with fellow runners.  Thanks for understanding!

Please let us know if you have any questions: NorthShoreTrailRun@gmail.com

Happy Running!
