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 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.
