About the event
We'll do an out and back run on the Appalachian Trail up to Pinwheel Vista and then get ice cream at Heaven Hill Farm. This section of the Appalachian Trail is very rugged and steep; there are a lot of rocks! The group will be hiking together but you're welcome to run ahead. We'll be following the white blazes of the AT until we get to the top of the climb. We'll turn left at the huge pile of rocks to go another tenth of a mile to reach the iconic Pinwheel Vista. It's less than 1.5 miles to the summit, so all-in, the hike will be about 3 miles. There are no restrooms at the trailhead.
Bring whatever you'll need to self-support your run/hike! You'll want to have a pair of trail running or hiking shoes, a water bottle or hydration pack and food/snacks if you'd like to munch…
