It was so fun, we decided to run it again! For the second year in a row, runners and walkers are invited to explore the breathtaking natural lands of Mt. Cuba Center with one-of-a-kind courses that wind through meadows and forests, alongside ponds, and across the same scenic terrain that Mt. Cuba’s conservation team manages to restore and protect native habitats.

This year we will host the same 5K route but also add on a challenging 10K course that takes you deeper into the “wild side” of Mt. Cuba.
