TZ Trail Runs 3 & 6 hour Snake Run selects TUWC as its feature Charity

The Snake Run has long been a staple on Turkey Mountain and 2015 is no exception! This year TZ Trail Runs will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the TUWC! This Race is held on the Pink Trail atop Turkey mountain and the beauty of it is you can run as little as 4 miles or as many as you can fit in during the time limit!

Special for 2015 you can run the 8:30 Great Plains 10K and then come run a 3 hour Snake Run! Road and Trail Miles!! How awesome is that?
