Events
15 Km: 
The course starts and finishes at the grassy field near Navarino Nature Center.  The trail winds through thick pine forest, oak savannah, and through prairie dominated by Big Blue Stem grasses.  However, over half the route follows the shoreline of the wildlife rich Pikes Peak, Loop, and 80-Acre Flowages, including the much loved southern ridge and its abundance of inspiring vistas.  The route also includes boardwalks through lush tamarack ringed bogs.  The trail is relatively wide the entire distance with a firm dirt, mowed grass, or moss covered surface.  Aid stations at 4.4 and 7.3 miles with water only.  Runners must carry a water bottle to refill at aid stations.
Starts @ 10:00 AM Navarino Nature Center. Map
6 Km: 
This course also stars and finishes in the grassy field by the Navarino Nature Center.  It features a beautiful undulating loop course winding through pine forest, oak savannah, and a short section along one of the Nature Center’s prairies.  6K runners are also treated to trips through the bogs along the boardwalks. This event is open to walkers.
