This is a classic 5 mile trail race through the beautiful rolling hills of Lincoln Parish Park. This race is one distance only; 5 miles. Put on in conjunction with LPP; this is a production of Get On A Trail Shreveport LLC. ( The Former: Old School @ LPP guy)
This race is happening on the day of a big park festival. It'll be a great day at the park with activities for everyone! The park will directly benefit from this race.
