19th Annual Wildwood Trail Trial
Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2010
10K
Run this ORRC 10K series event downhill on the scenic Wildwood Trail.
ORRC Wildwood Trail Trial is a unique race on trails in beautiful Forest Park, and is the last Great Summer 10K! Forest Park is the largest naturally forested urban USA park, with over 5,000 acres and 70+ miles of trails. WTT is a “cool” way to end the summer, and is a great way to help homeless or low income families through Human Solutions, Inc. & Snow-Cap Community Charities. Wildwood Trail was featured in the Sep 04 Runner’s World.
THE COURSE
Packed earth trail with many turns. Mostly good surface but with some rocks, roots, and occasional slugs. Registration and Start at the junction of the Wildwood Trail and Fire Lane 1, proceed south to Upper Macleay Park. A 650’ elevation loss in the first 5.7 miles and a 200’ climb in the last half mile. Note: this is not a closed course; expect to share the trail with other runners, families, walkers, and leashed dogs.
Walkers are welcome but will not have separate award categories.
