Fun Run: A 1/2 K kids' Fun Run will precede the 5K Trail Run & Walk. The Fun Run ends near the 5K finish line, so family members and runners can cheer on the kids. Children age 10 and under can enter the Fun Run or the 5K. There will be two groups going at separate times: 6 and under and 7-10. The little ones will run the shortest, but still get to go down the chute. In 2012, seven children aged 10 or under completed the entire 5K!
Directions: From the south, take Rt. 4 north from Auburn, pass Upper Street on right at the hardware store and K&K Construction, take next right on to Lower Street, go nearly 5 miles, turn right immediately before school building and drive behind school to reach parking lot. From the north, take Rt. 4 south, go left on Rt. 117 heading east, take a right on to Lower Street, and then take third left, driving behind the high school building towards large parking lot and football field and track.
Course Map:Look under the Maps tab for the course map, as well as a map on how to find the race. Chip timing.
Race rules: Because much of the race is on cross country trails, baby strollers just won't work in the 5k. Also, dogs are not allowed on the high school fields or trails. Sorry about that! We love dogs; these are school rules to protect the fields.
