Important Dates and Information:
A deceivingly flat course that will make you work a bit on the way out but will leave you enjoying the downhill back! The course is an out and back starting on Main Street near the Russell Church parking lot. Runners will head out Old Route 62 and take a right on to Woodland Drive followed by a left on Williams Street. Race will continue right in to Pine Grove Boulevard and head through the loop in Green Briar Circle. Once through the loop runners will head back the way they came. Race finishes by looping down by the post office on Conewango Street and then a straight finish on to East St.
