Lace up and hit the trails for a morning of strength, spirit, and community. The Tough Cookie Run is more than a 5K — it’s a celebration of resilience, nature, and giving back.

💜 In Memory of Lynette Denson

This race also honors Lynette Denson, founder of Tru Nature Yoga and a beloved part of our community. In 2020, Lynette completed this very trail — 3.1 miles — just weeks after a hip replacement and in the midst of her fight with cancer. She passed in 2021, but her strength and grace remain the heart of this event.
