Remember the thrill (or agony) of high school cross-country with this 5K team trail race.
You used to crush the dual meets with your teammates...or maybe you were just there cheering on your high school sweetheart. Your 5K time was blistering...or maybe you just ended up with blisters. It doesn't even matter. Whether you were the champ or the time keeper, the Glory Days 5K will bring you back to a time of terribly fitting warm-ups and fun competition.
Dust off your old kicks and put together a team of four to relive the good old days. An open division is available for racers running without a wolf pack. Bolton Valley will provide a slice of pizza for all racers up in Fireside Flatbread after you cross the line.
And if you're a young gun who is still putting down blazing times, even better. Just watch out for the unassuming old-timers at the starting line. They don't care about your fastest Strava time.
