Wilderness Run
Saturday, February 22nd
Riverside Park
The Wilderness Run is an enjoyable but also challenging event. As a participant you will follow a well-marked 2k - or 5k course leading you through Riverside Park across hayfields, thru the wooded paths and the camping area to a big finish at the Ranger Station!
Not a big “runner”? No problem! Walkers/hikers are also welcome and encouraged to attend.
The Wilderness Run starts at 9:30 a.m. for the 2k and 10:15 a.m. for the 5k! This is an event the whole family can enjoy. Bring strollers and of course friendly dogs on a leash are WELCOME!
After finishing you are invited to snack and rehydrate on water, hot cocoa, fruits and granola bars and spend time basking in your glory and cheering on other runners/walkers!
If your child is under the age of 3, you do not need to register them as a participant unless you want them to receive a shirt and medal.
Awards will be given out for the overall top three finishers in each run, for the top three of each age group in the 5K and for the BEST costume. Those participating in both races will not be eligible for an award in the 2K and will receive only one shirt and medal.
