Power walk with your friends while taking in scenic views of our historic village. GCV&M's exclusive on-site course combines groomed nature trails through our winding woods with gravel byways amid our historic buildings, creating a route that is as safe and pastoral as it is challenging.

Dress for Time Travel

Come dressed as your favorite historical character, or add some old-fashioned touches so you blend in with our 19th-century village. Snap a photo with our staff in historic costume before or after the race. And if that isn't enough fun, we'll even offer a prize for best costume!

After the Finish Line
