Buffalo Trail Race

8:00 a.m. Saturday,

May 17, 2008 

 

 

 

5 mile Trail Run and 2 mile non-competitive walk

 

 

 

Race Overview A 5-mile trail run and 2-mile trail walk through beautiful Lake of the Woods Park in Mahomet, IL. Just 10 miles west of Champaign, IL.  This trail is near an old buffalo trace or trail created by a massive herd of buffalo.  The 5-mile course will traverse rolling hills, small forests, open meadows and prairie, and at least one stream.  The walkers will have a less challenging but still scenic route.
Trail Running Remember, this is a trail race. There could be hidden rocks and roots, sharp turns, and even water or mud. Lots of fun, but be careful.
