Folsom's Run with Nature

This year marks more great "firsts" for the 34th annual fitness event - including a new location, and new run and walk courses. What haven't changed are the elements that make this event a favorite annual tradition for so many people: beautiful views, natural scenery, and a family-friendly format. The races take place along the Humbug-Willow Creek Trail system, on paved trails surrounded by acres of open space and wetlands. Course options include a 5.8-mile fitness walk, 5.8K and 13K chip-timed runs, and a youth half-mile fun run (contained within Cummings Family Park where the other events start and finish).  Registered 5.8K and 13K participants receive a commemorative finisher's medal and T-shirt; the top male and female run finishers will each receive a special prize. Youth fun run participants receive a T-shirt and a raffle ticket. Learn more and register today!
