The run starts out with some open field to spread everyone out. A new section of trail will take you through Beaver Pass where our resident beaver has been hard at work.Then you hit a little bit of mud at Cat Tail Trail, but don't worry, it will get washed off as you Stomp through the 20' wide Swamp Creek. It gets a little technical as you run along the the Old Mill Race then back through the Swamp Creek.
