Join us on Sunday October 20 as visitors from Pennsylvania and Ohio explore the fall beauty of Butler Township's Preston Park. Sponsored by the Friends of Preston Park Foundation, the 5k/10k/15k Challenge benefits Preston Park.
The 5k runners (and walkers) will start at 9 at the flagpole. They sprint past the house then follow the trails and markings down the hill, past the pond, across the bridge, to the meadow, through the woods, down Frith Hook, up Carnegie Trail, through the dog trail and parking lot, and then do it again. The 5k ends at the Arboretum.
The 10k runners (and walkers) will start at 10 at the Arboretum. They will be traveling parts of the park that are off the "beaten path." They sprint out the Arboretum then follow the trails and markings down the hill, past the pond, across the bridge, to the meadow, through the woods, down Frith Hook, and then turn onto Ridge Run. They follow Ridge Run, Meadow Run, and Deer Run to the top of the ski slope. The return trip follows Grinny Grove to Carnegie through the dog trail and parking lot, and then do it again. The 10k ends at the Arboretum.
It's not too late to register at [email protected]. Or volunteer to be a landmark, or simply show up and enjoy the fall beauty of Preston Park.
