๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŽƒCOURSE DESCRIPTION๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚

All three distances (10k, 5k & 2 Mile Run/Walk) take runners & walkers along the beautiful well maintained Lower Gwynedd Township Treweryn Trail system. This is a ROAD RUN/WALK, not an off road trail run. There may be a couple of areas in which the surface isnโ€™t perfectly flat & smooth, but 90%+ is flat & smooth. And, late October is the ideal time to run the Treweryn Trails! The crunching of the leaves combined with the Fall foliage will have everyone smiling ear to ear. This course is a true gem!

The Treweryn Trail system is a true gem of a walking & running trail. And, late October with the cool crisp air, leaves on the ground, combined with the beauty of the Treweryn Trails is an ideal time to enjoy these beautiful trails.
You are in for a treat๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ
