Run For Gold
The 5k will begin at the pavilion at Spruce Row Campground, and continue on the main drive through the campground until you exit onto Kraft Rd. You will follow Kraft Rd until you reach the entrance of the Black Diamond Trail. At the next intersection you will turn onto Agard Rd, where we will have our Half Way Hydration Station. After passing the hydration station you will turn onto Willowcreek Rd and follow it until you hit the bottom of the hill of Kraft Rd. That's right, we like to keep it interesting and finish on a hill. After the worst hill climb of your life you will enter into the campground to a cheering crowd and cold beverages! *1st place overall will receive a metal, engraved yeti water bottle & a free 2 week trail to Centerline Martial Arts* 1st, 2nd & 3rd place (either sex) in each age group will receive a metal.
