Tröegs Rugged Trail 5k Run for Conservation

The Tröegs Rugged Trail Run for Conservation is an annual event supporting the Ned Smith Center's lands and trail systems. It includes two trail routes: the walker-friendly Hopback Trail and the more challenging Rugged Trail. Participants can enjoy a post-race party with live music, food, and handcrafted beer from Tröegs Brewing Company, including a special Rugged Trail Ale. Registration includes a race shirt, a beer or root beer, a slice of pizza, and other refreshments. Proceeds benefit the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art, which features trails, galleries, and educational programming.
