Event Details: This year we will have a 5K race that will start at 8:00 and the 5-hour participants will start directly after the 5k takes off!
Trail Information: The 5k will be on the Howl Loop. You can run on any trail, road, or path in the Park to participate in the 5-hour event.
Loop Length: Howl this year will revert back to the original 3.29 mile loop, so this will be a great day to gauge your readiness for a Howl PR while raising funds for the Animal Shelter.
