The Rootrock Trail Run at Briar Chapel puts runners to the test with 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon of stellar single-track.  This popular, mid-fall, root-and-rock strewn trail run, is complimented by the Rootrock Mountain Bike Race, which is held the following day.

In addition to fantastic trails, centrally located Great Meadow Park, with its beautiful lawn, stage, and pavilion, offers a perfect setting area to start and finish a race.
