Celebrate National Trails Day on June 6th with Get Fit at Palo Duro Canyon! We will start our 4 mile run from the Mack Dick Pavilion parking lot at 7AM. We will also have a set of Hoka Speedgoat demo shoes for you to try on your run! Bring your own bottles and we will provide a hydration mix! Additional PDC Park info - There won’t be anyone at the gate so you should get your pass online or fill out the pass that morning. And it takes about 10 minutes from the gate to the pavilion (where we are starting), so you will need to plan accordingly. GET FIT ON STRAVA
