The Burg Run trail run is a solid late-fall cross-country style race that takes place on Laingsburg High School’s cross country course.  The course is mainly wide grassy lanes with a little bit of gravel.  There are a couple of decently steep-ish hills and one gradual hill toward the end.  It’s usually in late November so temps can be cooler.

The 10k course is just a double loop of the 5k, which is why I have always opted for the 5k course.  The course itself is challenging enough that I don’t recommend setting any time goals on this one (or at least don’t take them too seriously) and just go have fun with it.
