It’s a Top of the Mountain Finish at the 13th Running of the LGNC More or Less 10K Trail Run!
It is a year for our mountain top finish on the west side of the Lehigh Gap! This year’s course is perhaps the most challenging yet in the 13 year running of the event. Lots of new twists and turns in this year’s course. The race will get your heart rate up right away as it starts straight up the LNE trail for the first time. After taxing the lungs up and over the Prairie Grass Trail, the course continues on the technical single track on the Chestnut Oak Trail. After a brief flat on the LNE, the race heads down the Three Ponds Trail, where we are excited to introduce, for the first time, a new section of the trail around the Three Ponds at the west end of the course. Be careful on the fast flat D&L Trail before beginning the final mile-long, 1,000 foot climb to the finish line at the top of the Gap. This year truly lives up to the race’s motto, “You will never run the same race twice.”
More than a 2-Mile Scamper
The 2-Mile Scamper course has a mixed surface with portions of rail trail and paths. It includes two short steep hills, a section of single track trail, and a rocky dissent back to the Nature Center.
