What better way to celebrate July 4th and our nation’s independence from the overlording Brits than a trail run along the shores and in the woods by Lake Memphremagog. We celebrate FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY- Freedom from asphalt – Freedom to choose your distance (even mid-run) – Freedom of Spirit. The course was expanded in 2022 to include a one mile stretch from Prouty Beach, over the Scott’s Cove Bridge and through the Bluffside Farm. From there we hit the Beebe Spur Biker Path and the Memphremagog Trails. This has allowed us to expand our options to include Half Marathon in addition to the 10-Mile, 10 K, 5 K and 2-mile distances. We can honestly say, there’s a run or walk for every level of runner/walker in this mix. The Half Marathon, 10 mile and 10 K courses include 3.5 miles on the Memphremagog Trails system,
