Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Little Mulberry Park is a not so little gem of a park in Gwinnett County. This Gwinnett county park is a must if you've never seen it.  The park features paved trails, hiking trails and equesterian trails, all of which are well maintained. It is truly a beautiful park. Although I've hiked and trail run this trail a handful of times, I can't say I know it like the back of my hand yet so I have marked this as exploratory. The entire trail system is a little over 15 miles.

We'll meet just beyond the parking lot off of Fence Road - - near the bathrooms.  Just park and walk forward to the only building in sight.

This will be a moderate paced trail run. 12-13 minute miles, but depending on group dynamics we may either increase of decrease the pace. We will begin on the paved trail but after a while we will make our way into the woods on various trails. Ultimately, we may do up to 6ish miles. 

Please remember to bring plenty of water and practice social distancing.
