Twin Creek 10K Trail Run
Race begins at 10:00 AM
FEE varies $2 to $9, race day registration required.
The race starts very quickly with a long sloping downhill through a large meadow. Soon you'll find yourself traveling undulating valleys. Once you reach the Aid Station you are through the hills... until you reach the (*huf*) the last (*huf*) quarter mile. As you struggle up that last hill, you'll see the top of a roof and you'll know you're halfway up?!?!
