Mark your calendar: Run for the ACORNS to benefit parks is Oct. 11

By Billie Owens

The 2015 Run for the ACORNS will take place Sunday, Oct. 11, at Genesee County Park & Forest in East Bethany.

The 5K/10K Trail run/walk benefits GC parks.

Participants will walk or run on single and double track trail through the forest, along a creek and up and down rolling hills, with an estimated 100 feet of climb within the 10K loop.

Organizers say the trails are very wide and easy to negotiate with minimal rocks and roots. The course starts on asphalt, then leads into the woods for a truly beneficial run.

Check-in is at 8 a.m. at "Area B." The 10K starts at 9 and the 5K run/walk begins at 9:15.

This event is sanctioned by the USA Track & Field.

"Run for the ACORNS -- You're 'NUTS' if you don't!"
