Buffalo Trail Race

Location	Lake of the Woods Park in Mahomet, IL. Just 10 miles west of Champaign, IL.
Course	A 5-mile trail run and 2-mile trail walk through beautiful Lake of the Woods Park. 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. 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. The walkers will have a less challenging but still scenic route.
