All events take place on the Sharps Ridge trails.

Ample parking is available at designated neighborhood locations and shuttle service is provided for those unable to walk a few blocks.

Participants can choose from several event options:

  • 5K timed trail run
  • 1 mile family fun walk
  • 10K Ruck Race
