UPPER MacLeay Park to Wild Cherry plus Holman HEAVEN (Trail Run in Forest Park)

Distance: 5 miles
Gain: 800 ft
Start: UPPER Macleay Park
After: Pizza Thief on NW Vaughn

For this run we are going to start at UPPER MacLeay trailhead. This is the spot where Wildwood crosses over Cornell Road. We'll meet at the parking lot there and then have an easy warmup down to the stone house, continuing on Wildwood to our turn around spot at Wild Cherry. On our way back we'll take a detour up Birch, over to and DOWN Holman (therefore "Holman heaven" instead of the opposite!), then back on Wildwood to the start. Total distance is exactly 5 miles and just shy of 800ft gain.

Afterwards we'll head over to Pizza Thief at the corner of NW Vaughn and NW 26th for a post-run fuel up. Maybe a Wildwood slice after our run on Wildwood!
