Hit the Trails

That’s a wrap for the Hit the Trails Family Fun Run/Walk/Jog 2025!

The weather wasn't necessarily on our side today but we are so glad you came and we hope you had a good time and want to come back next year.

It takes a village to put on an event like this, so we want to thank all participants, spectators, cheerleaders, volunteers, sponsors, students and Trailside staff for your help today!

We hope you will come join us in May for the annual Trailside Kids Triathlon that happens on the Service High School campus and the wonderful trails in our backyard.

More pics to come, but here is a taste of some of some of the fun had today!
