Mark your calendars and start logging those miles — the Medvejie Solstice Run is back!

Three distance options wind out along Sawmill Creek Road toward Medvejie Hatchery and back, starting and finishing at Herring Cove (adjacent to the Beaver Lake Trailhead parking lot at the end of Sawmill Creek Road).
Fair warning: this is a hilly course. Train accordingly!
