Great Allegany Run

A fast, flat 15k starting in Mt. Savage and ending in Cumberland.  The race is point-to-point with a nearly uniform elevation drop of 475 feet in the first 10K.  The leaves are changing as you run a gradual downhill through the Narrows and into historic Cumberland.  The 5K is an out-and-back starting from downtown Cumberland.  Both races are followed by an awesome after party with food, music, prizes and beer!
