About the Twisted Trail 5K, 10K, 15K and FREE 1 MILE
The course runs through Ken-O-Sha Park on a single-track mountain bike trail along Plaster Creek. It is a loop format, with longer distances adding laps, so you come through the start area between each one. The trail includes wooden bridges and narrow sections through what the organizers describe as hidden terrain. Expect roots and uneven ground underfoot.
Start, finish, and packet pickup are all at Calvary Baptist Church on the southeast side of the city. Pickup opens on race morning before the start. The trail is narrow enough that strollers are a real struggle and dogs are not recommended, especially if there is snow on the ground.
