You will run along scenic Mirror Lake, near sandstone cliffs, up and down steep hills (did we mention the hills?) and to the finish line where you can enjoy post-race food and beverages including s'mores around a campfire, making for a truly unique running experience!

Some of the many projects that the Friends group helps with include the naturalist program, concerts in the park and candlelight ski and hike events.
