About the Event

Bridging two communities together, the Fox Heritage Run is a unique and rewarding 8K running/walking event that winds along the Fox River and over the beautiful Nelson Family Heritage Crossing. This event is a great way to challenge yourself, enjoy a beautiful trail system, AND see some of the best views in two amazing communities!

The total distance is 8K, with an elevation gain of 103 feet.

Awards
The top three overall male and female winners will receive awards.
