4th of July Donut run

Running and donuts, Who’s in? The idea is to eat a donut at each location (6) and run to the next location and repeat without tossing your donuts. End the run at our favorite running store Fleet Feet. This is road running and all pedestrian rules apply. I will add additional photos and the GPX file in the comments. This is not a race, just a fun way to get in some miles and enjoy some sugar bombs with friends. We will have a few drawings at the end and you will get a ticket for every donut you eat during the run.

Tuesday Group Run-Willow Lake

Trail name : Willow lake Trail
Person leading : Jim Leading
Trail description : No drop group run (we stop at every intersection and wait for everyone to join together again). We’ll be running trails on the back side of Willow Lake. About 5.5 mile including lots of granite rock, stairs, the red bridge and the back side of the dam. Basically all the hard stuff!
Park at the Willow Lake boat ramp ($5). We will meet at the bathrooms just up the hill from the ramp. To avoid paying $5, you can park at the baseball fields in Heritage Park and walk about 2 tenths of a mile to the bathrooms.
