FOXTRAIL WINTER RUNNING SERIES,
RACE ONE 13K RUN
Overview
Race one is the iconic 13km of the FoxTrail series, kicking off the races at FoxTrail HQ. The 13K route has become a classic in the FoxTrail series and as the first race of the winter its a chance to catch up with FoxTrail friends of years gone by.
