The Fall 5 KM Classic is fast from start to finish. The downhill course adds that beautiful asterisk to everyone’s time, and with the talented athletes up front, we can’t overstate how FAST this will actually be.
Our elite coordinator Alex Ullman has stacked the field to be the highest quality in race history, including Corey Bellemore, Mike Tate, Alex Cyr, Madeleine Kelly, Michael Gill, and Amanda McLeod!
