About event
🎄✨ **Maple-Wildwood Holiday Loop + Coffee + Treats!** ✨🎄
It’s that magical time again! Saturday, Dec 20th, we’re combining our **10th Annual Holiday Sweater Run** with our beloved **Winter Solstice tradition**. Break out your brightest/ugliest sweaters (or other festive holiday attire) and merriest smiles for a scenic romp through Forest Park.
👀 **there may be prizes - don’t be afraid to go all out**🏆
We’ll climb **Saltzman**, take a right on **Maple**, then right on **Leif**. From there, it’s a left on **FL5** to **Wildwood**, cruising until we drop down **Koenig**. We’ll finish with a left on **Leif**, right on **FL4**, and a final left on **Maple** back to the trailhead — about **6.3 miles** total.
