Passing historical structures adds an immersive, one-of-a-kind feel to the race. At the finish line, you’re rewarded with warm, delicious soups that are exactly what you need after a tough run—comforting and satisfying. And the volunteers? They’re the heart of the event, offering friendly smiles, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way. Their energy makes the whole experience even more welcoming. If you’re up for an adventure, this race is for you!
Another great Wilderness Run!
2019 added some more technical single track trails (almost the entire first 4 miles. Some grueling hills with many leaf covered paths and unsure footing. I had a blast and as always....I love this mug.
