Description:

One of the main architects and benefactors of the Urban Wilderness is Brian Hann, who as President of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club not only helped mastermind design of much of the corridor but generously allows easement to many miles of trail that ramble about his private land. With his cooperation we offer a new take on another Urban Wilderness race for 2015. The course won’t be different, but it sure will look different, as we’ll head into the woods at 7:00pm, half an hour after sunset. And although the course will be unusually well marked, it will not be illuminated, so runners will be required to carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp. A one mile Kids Trail Race will precede the adult race, and because it will start right around sunset, twilight will fall as runners tour the woods. The course will traverse an out’n’back section of the Lost Chromosome trail and offer the youngsters a taste of the fun the grownups will be having thirty minutes later. Only five bucks for so much fun!
