North Nasty on a diet (Trail run in Forest Park)

Distance: 6.9 mile trail run
Gain: 1200 feet
Start: Newton Rd Trailhead
After: Well & Good Cafe - Bonny Slope

Come out and run the lush trails in the northern portion of Forest Park.
Some of this route is the infamous North Nasty route (just a little bit) so if you ever thought about doing any of the Forest Park Nasty runs, this is a way to dip your trail running toes in the water!

Parking is always tight at Newton on a nice weekend day, so we will limit the attendance, but if you are outside of that, just meet up with us from another trailhead! More miles!

Starting here makes it easy for early milers to get some extra in as well.
