Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
Kick off the summer season at Trailside Brewing at Lennox station with the Summer Session 10k & 5k! Both courses will be fully on the all new Ecusta Trail greenway system! The Ecusta Trail is a newly transformed greenway that was originally a rail line. Both courses start at Trailside Brewing and are an out-and-back all on the trail.

Sunshine Sprinters can add on a race shirt for $20 during check out. Youth small and medium available. There are not awards for the Sunshine Sprint.
A Finisher medal, 1 beer from Trailside (or non-alcoholic beverage!), race shirt, & chip timing are included in race registration. A portion of race proceeds will be donated to the Mills River Partnership.
