THE COURSE:
TRAIL RUN! The race will be a trail run through Abbey Nature Preserve, adjacent to Poplar Grove Plantation. The 5K (red line) is one big lap around the outer Abbey Nature Trail and accompanying Foy Farm. The 1.8 mile walk (yellow line) is one lap around the outer Abbey Nature Trail.
The run consists of sandy farm road, hilly single track, wooden bridges and fire roads. There are numerous exposed roots. While not necessarily a technical course, you’ll need your wits about you, particularly during the last mile as added elevation changes and course narrowing will increase the difficulty of the run.
FROM THE RACE ORGANIZERS: This race benefits the Animal Sanctuary at Poplar Grove Plantation. The Animal Sanctuary began renovating its established farmland into a farm animal rescue site in earl 2013. It is currently an accredited rescue site with the United States Equine Rescue League.
