Event comments
Trails have paved and natural surface paths. NOTE: this is a wetlands park, so many natural paths will have muddy patches, even if it hasn't rained or snowed recently; even the paved trails will have puddles on occasion. The 5K trail is all paved and entirely inside the park. Both 10K trails employ natural paths,and will have restrooms in several places. The A trail starts outside of the park and goes through a neighborhood around the park, mainly on road shoulders, before entering the park via a pedestrian gate. You will finish by walking a short distance along Mountain Road. The B trail starts and ends inside the park, with a short loop in the nearby neighborhood. There are no sidewalks outside the park so neither trail is recommended for wheelchairs.The use of strollers will require additional care. Pets are not allowed inside the start point (market). Pets must be kept on a leash and cleaned up afterward.
