Save What Matters Most
3rd Annual Tug Hill Soggy Sneaker 5K
Saturday, April 29th
9am at the Joseph A. Blake Wildlife Sanctuary
Runners and walkers alike will enjoy this off-road course, consisting mostly of single-track trails through woods and across many streams. Participants will traverse foot bridges, log ladder bridges, and water crossings while gaining over 345’ of elevation. As the location is an active wildlife sanctuary, expect terrain that accommodates wildlife habitat. Held in late April, the course could be mostly snow covered, wet and leafy, and/or muddy – all part of the seasonal excitement!
