Come out for a 2.5 Miler Obstacle Course Trail Run! (age 10-99) Registration begins at 8:00am.

The race will be out in Upperville on Trinity Farms property! This is a beautiful run around pastures, near creeks and ponds.

This will be an obstacle course trail run.  It will be rugged terrain and not for the faint of heart. There will be water, mud, climbing, crawling. Participants can either do the obstacles or skip them. Awards given for true obstacle runners!

There will be two heats. The first one at 9am will be for the very competitive, those planning to not skip any obstacle!  The second heat will be for those wanting to skip the obstacles.

There will be a Patriots Playground (1 to 9yr) with fun games, activities and crafts for the children, 8:45-10:45. Cost is $5 up to 9/6 after that $10.

Please click the event links for more information and to register online. If you would like to pay with cash/check instead of credit card (and save the CC fee), or find out about sponsorship/vendor opportunities, please contact Kristin at kuhlenkott@jpgma.org
