Itinerary:
Being on the trail during twilight is a magical experience and I would like to share it with others.  We will hike to the highest point in the park to get warmed up.  The sun will rise at aproximately 6:50 am.  Afterwards we will gallop, trot, and jog through the forest at a leisurely pace.  We will congregate at the tops of hills for those who choose not to run as fast, but really it is all the same.  The goal is to keep moving for one full hour.  I hope you will join us.

Required Items to Bring:
Starbucks Coffee :-)
running shoes
water
