Meraki is a Greek word that means “to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention”. There are many reasons to why our participants participate in our events, but they all can agree on the fact, when they are running/walking the trails, they are doing so with passion, devotion, and undivided attention. The Meraki Trail Run is 3, 5, 7 or 9 miles of immersion in the experience of trail running in the spring. Bullfrogs and songbirds will be your soundtrack. Muskrats, deer, forest, and wildflowers will be your backdrop. The new spring grass will give you the bounce in your step to complete your chosen distance (or perhaps more)! This trail is a combination of mostly double wide trails that are either grass or dirt, through heavily wooded sections of open prairie and hills (just a few!). Dirty Dog Dare is the CaniCross companion event to the Meraki Trail Run will have a choice of 3, 5, 7 or 9 mile events as a test of their trail fitness. This event is perfect for all fitness levels and is dog-friendly for those not interested in participating in the CaniCross Event.
