About the Race
Join us at Crystal Lake Park for the Dash and Deciduous 5k trail run! This is a super secret, FREE, timed 'FATASS' 5k, which is essentially a fun, organized group run without all the bells and whistles of a typical race. Once the field limit is reached, additional runners will go on a waiting list and be added randomly.
Although the Uptown Gentlefriends covers all expenses, this event relies heavily on runner donations to enhance the experience. Donations aren't required but 100% of contributions go directly back to the runners.
Awards
- Top Male and Female: Awards for top finishers.
- Age Group Awards: Available for both male and female in the following age groups:

If participation is high, "Easter eggs" will be hidden along the course and can be returned for a small prize. If the finder also wins an award, the prize will be given to the next highest finisher.

Course Description
This course is a fun, timed group run and may be challenging for beginners. It features approximately 300ft of elevation gain, ankle-twisting roots, and some steep, dangerous hills. Veteran trail runners will enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to gain ground in a few runnable sections. The course will be well-marked, with no risk of getting lost, and there will be a water station at the halfway point.
Spectator Information
The course is spectator-friendly. You can cheer on runners at:
- Start: At the start line.
- Mile 0.50: Before they enter the woods.
- Mile 0.80: Just before a series of steep hills.
- Mile 2.1: For one last push to the finish line.
Refreshments will be served post-run near the sign-in area, and the award ceremony will take place shortly after the conclusion of the run.
Important Notes
- Parking: The parking area is small, so we strongly encourage carpooling.
- Safety: This is a small but competitive club run, and participants are responsible for their own safety. Crystal Lake Park offers challenging trails, including some steep and potentially dangerous downhill.
