From the Organizer
URBAN TRAIL SERIES is presented by Eastside Racing Company and Move-It Fitness Events. Southeast Michigan is home to many urban trail systems suitable for runners and hikers of all abilities! Join us on a series of summer Wednesday evenings as we take to the trails for a 5K marked loop in a setting that makes you think you are up north without the drive. No root is gonna get us down!
Post Series Party - August 19th after the 3rd race in the series to congratulate each other on a job well done! Choices will include grilled hamburgers, veg patties and hot dogs. Potluck style - participants can bring a dish or item to share with the group.
