The race route meanders through one of the hidden gems of Middletown - Poricy Park! The trail consists of wide grass paths, as well as some sections of single track. Poricy Park is not flat - beware of the hills! This is a trail/cross-country course - race surfaces consist of grass, gravel and wooden platforms - trails are not paved.
