LA PORTE — It’s nice to get off the road and try something different. It’s even better when your own two legs take you there. Introducing the first Trail Run at Tour de La Porte – a chance to race yourself against a backdrop that is dramatically different than blacktop.
“Runners are used to pounding the pavement, but with a trail run, you have a gentler impact on the body. This trail run is an excellent way for anyone from beginners to seasoned runners to go off road, experience nature, and challenge themselves as much as they want,” said Tom Koniczny, a cross country and time trial runner who helped plan the Tour de La Porte Trail Run. The 5K course leads runners through woods, some sand, and a beautiful bridge clearing with Stone Lake on one side and Pine Lake on the other. “There are some hills, and some roots, but anyone can run this course at their own pace.”
