Buffalo Trail Race

8:00 a.m. Saturday, May 22, 2010

 

 

 

5 mile Trail Run and

2 mile non-competitive walk

 

 

 

Location Lake of the Woods Park in Mahomet, IL. Just 10 miles west of Champaign, IL. 
Course A 5-mile trail run and 2-mile trail walk through beautiful Lake of the Woods Park. This trail is near an old buffalo trace or trail created by a massive herd of buffalo.  The 5-mile course will traverse rolling hills, small forests, open meadows and prairie, and at least one stream.  Remember, this is a trail race. There could be hidden rocks and roots, sharp turns, and even water or mud. Lots of fun, but be careful. The walkers will have a less challenging but still scenic route.
