DESCRIPTION
Join us for the second annual Grist Mill Grind 10K Trail Race, sponsored by the Franklin Creek Conservation Association. This is a technical trail race encompassing the Franklin Creek State Parks Natural Areas. Runners will follow trails up and down multiple hills with an elevation gain of > 800ft, cross the Franklin Creek multiple times (You will get your feet wet) and promises to be an overall challenging event. Water will be available at the Start/Finish and at the Sunday shelter (Mid race point). Please bring your own disposable cup or bladder, no cups will be provided to minimize environmental impact.

1 Mile Walkers will start at Hausen Knox as well and travel through the forest and creek side for a beautiful loop back to Hausen Knox to get a wonderful taste of the park.

All proceeds from this event will go to the Franklin Creek Conservation Association to help fund park programs, park expansion, and park improvements. We need your help and we hope you support us and enjoy this event.
Custom Awards will be presented to the Top 3 Male and Female runners overall. T-Shirts are available to all runners to commemorate the event.
