🍁🎃COURSE DESCRIPTION🎃🍂
All three distances (10k, 5k & 2 Mile Run/Walk) take runners & walkers along the beautiful well maintained Lower Gwynedd Township Treweryn Trail system. This is a ROAD RUN/WALK, not an off road trail run. There may be a couple of areas in which the surface isn’t perfectly flat & smooth, but 90%+ is flat & smooth. And, late October is the ideal time to run the Treweryn Trails! The crunching of the leaves combined with the Fall foliage will have everyone smiling ear to ear. This course is a true gem!
We can’t wait to see everyone on November 1st!
