Upland Hills Trail Run

Upland Hills Trail Run is a beautiful course with lots of support (marshals, aid stations and course markings) making it a great race for those new to trail running, while experienced trail runners will relish the challenge of the hills and the variety of scenery. This is a fantastic event for families, with something for all ages and ability levels to enjoy.

We, the children of Upland Hills School, are putting on this race to support our Share the Adventure program. We have a high ropes course (which we call our Adventure Playground) that helps us with team building, self-confidence, and physical health. We are very fortunate to have the APG course and we would like to be able to share it with other schools that don’t have such things. The money from this race will be used to help other schools to be able to use our course and to fund ongoing maintenance. “Race Class” is an elective afternoon class that we all chose to take. We are between the ages of 8 and 13. We are so excited to design courses, websites, medals and all the other important things it takes to put on a race. We hope you are able to participate in this one-of-a kind race that we worked so hard to put on.

The race will take you along the beautiful trails of Upland Hills Farm and the scenic trails of Bald Mountain Recreational Area. The trails are dirt with some rolling hills, pasture land, agricultural land, sand, rocks, tree roots, and possibly mud…if it rains! Fun for the entire family! In addition to the 5K/10K/10 Mile distances, there is a fun run (free!) for the youngest children, designed for those up to 8 years old but open to everyone. The Upland Hills Farm will be hosting animals to pet (kittens, sheep, cows, goats… maybe more!).
