Set against the beautiful landscape of Pitney Meadows, the 5K course features a mix of grass and stone dust trails. The course is primarily flat, with gentle rolling sections, wide and smooth trails, and no road crossings. With open sightlines around the start and finish, the course is easy for spectators to enjoy and offers a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere for runners of all ages and experience levels.

This race honors the memory of Michael J. Pitney, an outdoor enthusiast whose love for nature continues to inspire those who explore the trails at Pitney Meadows. His legacy lives on through the 1.7-mile trail loop at Pitney Meadows, named in his honor, where visitors can experience the same sense of adventure and connection to nature that Michael cherished.
