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. |
