Expect the ever-popular:

• 5K This is the same trail you have known and loved!  It includes the killer hill taking you to one of the highest points in the county.  You will traverse along Linn Creek through woodlands, cross a wetland, and finish in the prairie in full bloom.  Grass surfaces will cushion your stride through most of the route.
• 8.77K Very rustic –  grass, mud, dirt.  It includes the entire 5K with a rustic extension taking you on a deer trail along the undeveloped side of Linn Creek.  Beautiful scenery!  You’ll want to come back just for the view!
• 1.6 Mile This route takes you through woodland, along Linn Creek and up the Big Hill.  You will finish by passing over the covered bridge (yes, we have them in Marshall County, too!) and crossing the finish line at the picnic shelter.
• Kids’ Races Kids races begin about 9:00 and go about 100 yards.  Ribbons for all!
• $100 for top Male and Female in both the 5K and the 8.77K.

•  $50 for 2nd Place Male and Female in both races
