Leave No Trace Trail Half Marathon

Leave No Trace Trail Half Marathon

Leave No Trace is a trail event held at Camp Manatoc on the high plateau where the Spirit of Marnoc is said to dwell. The course is mostly single track and technically demanding, routed through a white pine grove with many quick turns and numerous hills, and finishes with a final climb and sprint to the finish area. The camp trails are open to the public only during Western Reserve Racing events.
