From the organizer
Journey Through Time: Washington Park Trails Unveiled Again On Saturday October 24th starting at 8 am.
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of history with the Washington Park Trails 5K journey. This uniquely crafted route offers a escape from the typical 5K in the park. The route will guide you through the tranquil pathways of the forests in Washington Park.
The course, marked by cones, directional arrows, and safety tape, promises a seamless journey through scenic beauty and peaceful world of the forests in the park.
Your participation directly supports the restoration of the Leland Farm Summer Kitchen, a treasured piece of history that now graces our park. This event is an homage to the past, beginning and ending at this significant landmark, making every participant a steward of history.
Every journeyer will receive a commemorative t-shirt, a wearable testament to their contribution. Moreover, we celebrate the spirit of competition by awarding unique prizes to top finishers across various age categories, honoring those who lead the pack in this historical journey.
Join us for more than a run; join us for a leap through time, a celebration of history, health, and community. Let's make history together, one step at a time! _____________________________________________________________
