🌲 The Course
Ready to run, climb, cruise, and have a little fun? The Farnum Five.5 (ish) has a little bit of everything!
The race kicks off with a fast Class VI road / wide trail for the first 1.5 miles. 🚀 Then, just when you're feeling good, we turn up the heat with a short, steep climb to the ridge. 🔥⛰️
Once you’ve conquered the climb, you’ll be rewarded with approximately 0.6 miles of scenic ridge running beneath a beautiful shaded canopy. 🌳😎 Enjoy it while you can… because another heart-pounding 0.6-mile climb is waiting for you!
🎯 At the top, you'll hit the 5K mark, and from there it's time to cruise your way to the finish! 🏁
Most importantly, this race is about having a great time and enjoying the trails. Whether you're chasing a PR, challenging yourself, or just looking for a fun morning in the woods, come out and run with us! 🙌
