About the Creekside Trails Race 5k & Team 30k
The course runs through Creekside Trails on a mix of smooth and moderately technical singletrack. It suits someone new to trail running as well as teams looking for a longer day out. Roots and uneven ground keep you honest, but nothing here is punishing. The trails are marked and supported, with aid available on course.
The relay format has teams rotating at a shared start and finish exchange zone, so there is a home base throughout the morning. Post-race food is out for everyone when they finish. The whole event is put on by the local firefighters union, and that shows in how it is organized and staffed.
