Description

Kick off your Christmas in Zoar experience with the Zoar Merry Miles, a 5K Run/Walk, that takes you around and through the village decorated in its Christmas splendor.  The Kid's Fun Run (10 & Under) is just under half a mile, and of course a family member may run/walk it with them.

The course is a mix of roads and trail with a few moderate hills, passing the Zoar Garden, crossing the iron bridge, taking in the wetlands and accessing the trail that leads back up into the village. A challenging, yet fun course!

Due to the Trail being a bit narrow in a couple of spots, and scattered with some tree roots, no strollers will be permitted.

Dogs on a fixed leash are permitted on the course.

 

Snacks & Refreshments:
Cookies, soup, water, hot chocolate, granola bars and fruit at the finish line.

 

T-Shirts:
Our 5K receives a long sleeved t-shirt we offer Adult X-Small to 2X-Large or a No T-Shirt Option for a $5 discount.  T-Shirts will be limited after November 13th!

 

Finishers Medal:
All Finishers in the Kid's Fun Run & Zoar Merry Miles receive a locally, handcrafted finishers medal.
