The course is a mix of double- and single-track trails through Shedd Park and Rogers Fort Hill Park as well as a segment along the scenic paved Concord River Greenway. The course includes minimal sidewalks and roads connecting the trails and will be marked with flags and signs and staffed at road crossings and major turns. 10K runners will complete the loop twice. There will be one water stop (10K will pass by twice). We encourage runners to bring their own bottles to reduce the amount of waste. Water and light snacks will be available at the finish line. The Kids 1-mile Fun Run/Walk will be a marked loop with adults at each turn to ensure no one gets off course. There will be finishing prizes for all participants. Please note the Kids Fun Run/Walk will not be timed.

The EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE. Sorry, but there will be NO REFUNDS OR DAY-OF REGISTRATION.
