A fast, flat 15k starting in Mt. Savage and ending in Cumberland. The race is point-to-point with a nearly uniform elevation drop of 475 feet in the first 10K. The leaves are changing as you run a gradual downhill through the Narrows and into historic Cumberland. The 5K is an out-and-back starting from downtown Cumberland. Both races are followed by an awesome after party with food, music, prizes and beer!
15K runners meet at Mezzos Restaurant to be transported to the start line. Runner's bags will transported to the finish line. Last bus departs at approx. 7:15 a.m.
