Take on the trails with your fellow runners, conquer the river crossing (yes, you WILL get wet twice), and finish with a well-deserved beverage in our Biergarten after the run. 7 Mile Route: Digital Map Race Day Timeline: 4:30 PM - Registration and Packet Pick Up Opens (Hemlock Creek Picnic Area) 6:00 PM - 7 Mile begins 6:30 PM - 1 Mile begins 6:30 PM - Biergarten opens Celebration and awards to follow 10:00 PM - Event closes Participant Perks: Custom hat Finisher medal Live music from our German Band!
