Back for a third year of bird-brained fun! Join us June 22nd, 2024 to experience the rolling hills, lush vegetation, and calling birds of a Vermont forest in its prime. With an updated course and finish-line festivities, the whole family will enjoy this instant classic 5K. The course consists of 95% single-track trails and traverses some rocks and roots as you climb and descend through picturesque forested habitats. Total elevation gain is just under 500 feet and has a short maximum grade of 16% and 120% smiles. One fully stocked aid station will be available a little over a mile in and one water-only checkpoint will be waiting for you after the final climb.
