About the Trail Run: Baltimore Woods Nature Center is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a 5K trail run/walk and fun run! This family-friendly, healthy event features a challenging cross-country style 5K* trail run (hikers welcome to register, too!) and a 1K Kids Fun Run showcasing this hidden gem in Central New York. After the race, there will be refreshments and a celebration of the top three male and female finishers. *Due to the uneven terrain of the course, this race is not certified and approximately 2.9 miles.
The race is sponsored in part by Wegmans and all proceeds benefit Baltimore Woods Nature Center in its mission to provide place-based education by cultivating an abiding love for the natural world, while serving as a model of sensible stewardship.
