Graham Eagles Trail Run Preview Video Clip

Here is a quick little video from our course.  We mapped it out today and had to make a few adjustments in the course....no worries, it is clearly marked.  The first half of the trail is clearly marked with WHITE PAINT.  The second half changes to ORANGE PAINT. 

The Kids 1 Mile Course had to be modified the most, but we changed it so they are able to run through the Stables....Of course!....My favorite part is running through the animal stables. 

I have updated the map and it is posted on the tabbed link above. 

Can't wait to hear how you all liked the course.  See you in the morning!

The Courses....

Just spent the afternoon out on the race courses...they are FUN!  Looks like the weather will be rainy and the course will be muddy....all the more fun.  You can expect hills, gravel, logs, narrow trails, wide roads, horse arena, picnic benches and even a run through the stables...Seriously...through the stables! 

Can't wait to see you there!

Final week to enter our race.

$20 for the 5K.
