Jolly Elf Trail Run:  Course Details

The 5K Run main event traverses through the paved and gentle hilly trails of scenic Bond Park, in the heart of Cary.  The course is mostly hard-packed wood chips and grass with some pavement between trails.  Good footing exists throughout the entire course.  Along the way, you'll enjoy the encouragement and cheers of elves, cheerleaders and their families.

The One Mile Fun Run course is a beautiful, generally flat, jaunt through mostly open areas adjacent to the scenic woods of Bond Park.  This Fun Run enjoys similar good footing consisting mostly of hard-packed wood chips, and grass with some pavement between trails.  Walkers are welcome, too.

The 200 Yard Kid's Dash is a blast on the grass...all the little ones enjoy this one --- with goodies to collect upon finishing.

**NOTE:  Note for 2010 there will be an optional Team Competition where the times are added for the top 3 males and top 3 females of each team (minimum- 6 runners, 3 male and 3 female, and no maximum.)
