About the Brody Strong 8th Annual 5K
The course runs on cross country trails in Chassell, so expect natural surfaces, some undulation, and the kind of quiet surroundings that come with wooded trail running. The race is tied to pediatric brain cancer research, and that purpose tends to draw a crowd that is there for more than just the run.
The event has a virtual option for those who cannot make it in person, but there is also a casual in-person gathering at the trailhead for anyone who wants to run or walk the course with others. The atmosphere at the start is informal rather than staged, which suits the trail setting well.
