THE EVENT- For the first time in 16 years, this event will be held virtually! Participants will have the options to complete a 6K or 3K distance while choosing their own route and finish line. Proceeds from the trail race will serve to benefit the natural resources and sustainability of Jasper County through the help of our non-profit group, Jasper Conservation Connection. A week-long event will give runners the best opportunity to train and race with regard to the current information surrounding COVID-19. After you complete your 3K or 6K, please email your time and the location of your run to kvanzante@jasperia.org between September 21 and September 27, 2020.
