Event comments
There is one short hill on the 10K (to the cemetery), but most of the walk is flat. You will be walking mostly on sidewalks but there is one section across grass along Little Chiques Creek. The 5K trail passes through three of the parks and Main Street. There are porta potties in several parks. You can access the walk box on the inns side porch without disturbing the owner. If there are diners breakfasting on the side porch, please take the box off the porch to do your paperwork. The inn is a lovely B&B if you happen to be staying in the area overnight.
