About the Kennekuk Road Runners - Members Only Meet The Backpack
The trail here has a reputation among local runners for being genuinely hard. There is a long stair climb, uneven footing, and a real chance of coming back muddy. The surroundings are dense enough that first-timers are asked to run with someone who knows the route. Forest Glen is the setting, and it earns the description.
After the run, the group gathers at the Maple Grove Lodge for a potluck meal with drinks. The post-race spread depends on what people bring, and details get posted on the club's Facebook page ahead of time.
