Come run a beautiful four mile loop trail at Lake Lurleen State Park. Then do it again. Then do it again. We'll sound the goose on the hour every hour. All you have to do is be at the starting line again and you are still in.

Run as many loops as you can or want to. This is a well-groomed trail with minimal elevation. A great way to achieve your distance PR.

This is a very unique format that forces you to hang out with friends and meet new people. It's also amazing training for pacing discipline. You gain nothing from going too fast.
Come run some loops and test yourself and have a blast!
