Description
Due to construction at the New London Tech Trails the course will be a bit different from prior years. We are working on the new course, but it will still be a 10k. The Start/Finish area will be in a grass field on the right side of the big roundabout as you drive in from the main road.
Come run on the New London Tech Trails for the 7th annual Twisted Trail 10k. Stay afterward for age group awards, food and fellowship.
We have a great location lined up - nice trail system - and gracious hosts with the Bedford County Parks and Recreation.
Come run one of Bedford County's newest and nicest trail systems.
We will have both male and female shirt sizes. Shirts guaranteed to those registered by 4/7/26.
