📍 Event Details

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. Registration is required due to the field size being limited to 40 runners. Once the field limit is reached, additional runners will go on a waiting list and be added randomly.

Donations: 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: Awarded to top finishers.
  • Age Group Awards: Available for both male and female in the following age groups:
    • 29 and Under
    • 30 to 39
    • Masters (40+)

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
  • 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. Even experienced trail runners should exercise caution.
