This year’s Crossroads Trail run will look a bit differently from previous races. The run will be taking place this weekend on June 19th beginning at 9:00. Gretchen Schmelzer, the director of the race, describes why this year’s race will be different from past years.

In addition to those changes there will also be a staggered start time for the people who chose to run on location. This difference will make it easier for those who want to social distance during the race. All people who complete the race between 8:00am and 12:00pm on June 19th will receive a native  tree sapling at the Collins Learning Center. Schmelzer said that in normal years this event brings 400 people in, however this year they are only expecting 300. There is still time to register for people interested. Registration is open online, people will also be able to register in person on the 19th before the event begins. More information is available at the crossroads trail run website.
