There is both a 3.1 mile (5k) and one mile course available for runners and walkers. Each race will be along our beautiful trails throughout the Warm Hearth Village campus. Water will be available at the “halfway” mark. Post-race sports drinks, energy bars, apples, bananas, and water will be provided by LewisGale Hospital Montgomery. Proceeds will benefit Neighbors In Need Fund at Warm Hearth.
The adventure begins on road pavement and transitions to a mixture of gravel roads and paved and grass trails with wooden bridges through our scenic woodland surroundings. A final dash to the finish is along a shaded, paved trail. This course will challenge and reward you as you climb the gentle inclines along the way.
Dogs allowed for the one mile race. Clean-up and leashes are mandatory!!
