Don't Fall on Your Aspen 5K

Runners of all fitness levels will get the chance to run amongst the fall colors (and to experience a rare Mogollon Monster sighting!) at Arizona Nordic Village on Friday, October 26th during Run Flagstaff and Arizona Nordic Village’s “Don’t Fall on Your Aspen 5K.” The event will take place at Arizona Nordic Village, 8 miles past Snowbowl Road up Highway 180 at 6 p.m., with post-run games and campfire beginning at 7:15 p.m. The race starts at twilight so runners are required to have a headlamp or flashlight to safely navigate the trails. After participants have made their way through the aspen trees at Arizona Nordic Village, runners and their families will be treated to other festive fall activities such as bobbing for apples, corn hole, spike ball, lasso practice, ladder ball, and a campfire with all the materials for s’mores provided. “Don’t Fall on Your Aspen 5k” participants can register either online on the Run Flagstaff website (www.runflagstaff.com/dont-fall-on-your-aspen) or in-person during packet pickup at Run Flagstaff, with the cost of registration starting now at $25, and increasing to $30 October 20th and to $35 on the day of the race.
