TRAIL CONDITIONS
Trail terrain can range from portions of established packed dirt trail to more technical single-track trail straight through the woods. There may be large areas of standing water puddles and spongy earth. You can probably pick around much of it if you are careful but wear shoes with a decent grip that you are okay getting muddy. The trails may be overgrown so look for hazards from thorns or branches. Remember that trail running is not like road running. There will be rocks, roots, mud, water, wildlife, and more. You could roll your ankle, get scratched by thorns, or come home to find a tick in your hair. Some of the trails we explore might get a little hairy. Please do not approach trail running lightly.
