Description:

The Farnum Five.5 miler begins with a fast class VI road wide trail for the first 1.5 miles. The course then turns the heat up with a short steep climb to the ridge. With tired lungs and legs, you then get to cruise along the scenic ridge and shaded canopy for the next .6 miles. Then we turn uphill again for a heart pounding .6 mile climb, reaching the 5k point. Then it’s time to cruise the remainder of the course to the finish. Several sections of the course are brand new for 2017! This race is all about having a good time for all. The best prizes are saved for the raffle that all racers and volunteers are eligible for. Prizes are sponsored by Poverty Lane Orchards (directly across the street), Omer and Bob’s, and Huberts Outfitters. All proceeds go to the Lebanon PLAYS new playground installation project on Colburn Park.
