Course Highlights: The first half of the course is on asphalt roads; the latter portion is on forest roads and the Peterson Bike Trail. This is a dirt bike path. Wonders of Walking has a permit, but we do not have exclusive use of the trail. There may be bike riders on the course. Be aware.
The course will be marked with pink flagging tape and directional arrows.
As always, we are never quite sure of the weather. If dry, it may be cool and crisp in the morning and warming. The course will be dry.
If wet, the latter part of the course will be muddier. Keep the composition of trail in mind when selecting your shoes.
Want To Volunteer?: Without the help of volunteers, our events could not happen. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us at info@wondersofwalking.com
