The trail itself will wind through local trails surrounding Tibbetts Field, including a 2-mile loop through Powder Major Forest, giving participants a great fall experience. Runners will have to negotiate natural terrain, roots, mud, plenty of fall leaves and the “haybale hurdle” to finish the race! The 1-mile Fun Run course will test our younger participants giving them a real trail running experience.
