From the Organizer

​The race offers two race distances, our 10 miler and 5 miler.

10 miler: If you are a local CNY runner, you know about our own little backyard gem - Green Lakes.  This race will take you through all the twists and turns of this beautiful park. The race starts at the sandy beach of Green Lakes and slowly winds its way around Round Lake and up towards, as the locals call it, the Serengeti. The race continues its way around the top before its descent to the lakes back to the beach.

5 miler: Want to try your hand at trail racing; however, you want a shorter race distance? The race starts at the sandy beach of Green Lakes and just touches the Serengeti before you head back down around the lakes.

*Considerations before registering. Pease wear the appropriate footwear, and note that there is potential for injury.  When you register for the event you agree to release Miles & Macros, LLC, Sand to Serengeti, and all of it's affiliates of any liability.
