The Bear Trax and Brownie Shuffle is a running and walking event at Lapham Peak State Park, with 5K 10K and 20K options to suit every level of athlete.  It was started in 2009 as a way to honor a dear friend, Nancy Sellars, who was killed by a drunk driver while riding her bike. The race brings people to the trails she loved at Lapham Peak and also raises money for the Peak Nordic Scholarship Fund. This money helps support the vision and purpose of Peak Nordic Ski Club, which is to promote the sport of cross country skiing and create life-long skiers by providing a fun and organized teaching and competitive venue for all area youth.

Course Description:
All events will be run within Lapham Peak State Park

 

The course is new this year, promising fun and exciting.  The 5 K race features new challenging terrain.

The 10 K and 20 K distances will be run on the same course.  1 lap for 10 K and 2 laps for the 20 K. 20 K racers will get a 10 K split.  Friends and family are welcome to come out and cheer you on.  Please see the course maps below.
