CARA Autumn Trail Chase 5K (Forge Trail Series)

The CARA Autumn Trail Chase 5K course is generally flat. The trail surface is primarily well-maintained limestone chat, with some wooden surface bridge crossings, some gravel, and wood chip. The route begins within “The Lawn”, which is The Forge’s outdoor music venue. The course proceeds along the Illinois & Michigan Trail Passage, through the Lemont Heritage Quarrie Trails, and through The Forge Aventure Park grounds. The surroundings are mostly wooded, with scenic views of the adjacent water-filled quarries and the adventure park.
