Leftovers Trail Run

Course

Both distances start and finish at Great Meadow Park in the Briar Chapel community and loop through its 900-acre trail network. Each course opens with just under half a mile of pavement before turning onto a mix of undulating double-track dirt and flowy singletrack with roots, rocks and short climbs. The 5K has one on-course aid station and the 10K three, plus one at the finish.
