We are excited to open up our Course Preview to all participants of the Rootrock Trail Runs! Whether you are getting out your pre-race nerves, working on your pacing, or looking to meet new running friends, you are invited to join us for the 5 Mile Course Preview!
We will have coaches and mentors there to help you through, as well as hydration and snacks! Meet at Great Meadow Park in Brier Chapel and get a taste of the race in this casual pace run. We'll have our friends out from Altra Running with demo shoes to try out and post-run snacks and treats!
*Try on a pair of Altra Shoes and get a raffle ticket
*Test out a pair of Altra Shoes for the run and get a cup of coffee from the Three Waters Cafe truck
The course will not be marked but we will have pace group leaders and will follow the course:
Here are instructions on how to send the routes to your watch:
