Outrunning Homelessness – Course Terrain

Our friend, Tony, sent this note to us – “ Is the course the over grass, dirt and rocks or is it on tar/paved pathway? Either way is fine, and the off-road is actually very easy on the joints, but I wanted to let my group know ahead so that for safety we don’t show up in road flats, zero drops or minimalist shoes with no stability or cushioning.” Great Question, Tony – Here is more information on the Outrunning Homelessness Race and Walk Courses.

The Outrunning Homelessness 5K (3.10 miles) will begin at the Ames Mansion of DCR’s Borderland State Park. The course is a loop consisting of mixed flat and hills. The trail is unpaved. There will be dirt and some rocky patches.

The Outrunning Homelessness 2.6 mile family fun walk will begin at Ames Mansion of DCR’s Borderland State Park.

The course is a loop, mostly flat, of unpaved trails. The ground will be dirt with some rocks.
