The Barkside of Winter
DISTANCES: 3, 6, 9 & 12 miles
Bristol Woods is the perfect host for the annual The Barkside of Winter. This beautiful park and its trails take you up, down and through twists and turns.The 3 mile(-ish) looped course is a combination of single and double-wide trails. We will be inside the Pringle Nature Center to keep warm before the run and to warm up after the run!
The Canicross event starts at 10:20 am. Online sign-up will conclude at 10am on the Friday before the event, same day sign-up will be available.
You can bring a non-dog running partner with you, but they need to sign up as well, as we do not want to split up friends or family members that enjoy running together with a single dog.
Plan on joining us and being a kid again! The snow-covered trails (fingers crossed) will be all you need to remember the fun you had making snow angels, snow people (or snow dogs), snow tunnels, and having snowball fights. (But please only start a snowball fight on the trail with willing participants!) You can tromp through the woods on a 3 mile(-ish) loop for up to 4 loops.
AND... just like when you were a kid, we will be waiting for you inside Pringle Nature Center with a cup of hot chocolate as you enjoy the company of your fellow trail enthusiasts. Please BYO dessert to share! Swag will be available for purchase. Great company will make the ending of your Barkside of Winter trail run one of the most fun things you can do outdoors in February with your favorite running partner.
These events are perfect for all fitness levels.
