2010 Race Course
A 3.1-mile trail race run
entirely inside Sunset Hill County Park. The course
includes both wooded trails and rolling hills. The
Foot Pursuit 5k is a challenge for any runner, and
highly competitive. Just like years past, weather
conditions will play a factor in the
race. So far we’ve had blistering cold, ice, knee
deep snow, and a year of mud. What will 2010 bring?
Fourth year in a row
à
Wear a costume get a
prize! The weather’s perfect for an extra
layer, you may as well show off a little.
FP5k is part of both the local
XYZ Trail Series and the National Trail Runner Magazine Point Series.
