Sports at the VIC: Freedom 5K Trail Run (2011)

Trail Running at the Paul Smith's College VIC:
Summer Fun Trail Runs
Every other Wednesday

We’ll keep you on your toes and on the trails every other Wednesday when you participate in the VIC's Summer Fun Trail Run Series. The bark mulch trails and grassy service roads at the 3,000-acre VIC make ideal conditions for trail runners to get out and enjoy a run in the woods.  Scenic vistas, opportunities to see wild life, and well-maintained trails are bonuses people have discovered at the VIC.
