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. |
