Hart Park After Work Series Recap

Oct 6

Written By TeamActionDad .

That's a wrap on the Hart Park After Work Series! For four Thursday evenings, runners, riders and a bunch of fast kids clocked out and came out to the Barn at Hart Park. People raced the 5K, the MTB / Gravel loop, e-bikes and Kids MTB. The bravest did the Double Down, running the 5K and then riding the same night. Thank you to everyone who raced, cheered, volunteered and stuck around for the sunsets.
