Description
Celebrate summer, freedom, and 250 years of the American story at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve during the 5th annual Paradise Found 5K Trail Run, presented by PepsiCo and Storm Energy.
Taking place just days after the Fourth of July during America’s 250th anniversary year, Paradise Found celebrates the freedom of movement. Running these trails is a reminder that access to community spaces and the ability to move through them are something worth celebrating. Runners will experience Coler’s world-class trails on foot, weaving through forested singletrack and scenic terrain before finishing at The Homestead.
Red, white, and blue are highly encouraged! Break out your most patriotic gear, costumes, or accessories. We’ll be awarding a prize for the best patriotic outfit, so have fun with it.
