Start the holiday season by challenging yourself to some gently rolling hills in scenic Seneca Creek State Park as you run one loop for the 5-mile race, or a second loop for twice the fun. The park deer occasionally make a cameo appearance and they don’t brake for runners! All participants need to be in the park by 7:50 AM.
The course covers paved roads over rolling hills, across a dam, and through the woods. Both the 5- and 10-mile courses start and finish in the same location.
Dashing through the snow to an 8k race today… (you fill in the rest!)

The theme for this race is School Spirit! So come dressed and ready to run in your favorite school’s team apparel!

The race finishes at the first perpendicular from the restroom’s first wall on the approach from the parking lot to the hiker-biker trail. A full course map of the 8K race can be viewed here.
