About
The National Trails Day 5K/3K is a timed walk/run for children and adults. Strollers and dogs are welcome but will be placed at the back of the pack to allow runners a clear start. In addition, parents and guardians are allowed to run alongside participants but must also register. Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female 5K/3K finishers, along with the top male and female 5K finishers in several age categories. A loop of the paved trails throughout Joyner Park will comprise the 3.1-mile course for the 5K and 1.8-mile course for the 3K.
Funds raised through entry fees will be used to support the maintenance of current greenways and the development of new greenways throughout Wake Forest.
