This is a technical trail race encompassing the Franklin Creek State Natural Area Trails. Runners will follow trails up and down multiple hills with an elevation gain of > 800ft, cross the Franklin Creek multiple times (You will get your feet wet) and promises to be an overall challenging event. Water/Gatorade will be available at the Start/Finish and at the Sunday shelter (Mid race point). Please bring your own disposable cup or bladder, no cups will be provided to minimize environmental impact.
