5K Course
This mostly flat looped course utilizes the North and South Plateau Trails, as well as the Fire Tower Trail. While never dropping down off the top plateau of the mountain, this course appeals to the new trail runner wanting to experience moderately technical trails, while will draw in the experienced trail runners looking for a fast course.

This looped course will utilize many of the trails on the northern and eastern portions of Monte Sano State Park and will challenge some of the best trail runners of the area. The 15km course will have highlights including a traverse through a natural stone tunnel, feature technical footing and have plenty of climbing before a beautiful finish at the overlook to McKay Hollow.
