The annual Twisted Cider 5K &: 12K run and walk is coming to the City of University Place! How ‘bout them apples!
Runners and walkers will start and finish from the Curran Apple Orchard Park, meandering around the quiet neighborhoods of University Place with glimpses of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Puget Sound. With gentle rolling hills along with flat and fast sections, you’re going to enjoy these courses.
After the race, enjoy some snacks and wander the beautiful grounds of the park. (But please do not pick the apples. We need to save these juicy treats for the Annual Cider Squeeze!)
