Somerset周辺の5Kレース

The Narrow Way begins at Canal Place in Cumberland, Maryland, directing runners onto the Great Allegheny Passage Trail west of town. Held annually since 2019, it provides 10K, 5K, and 1K fun run/walk choices, suitable for racers, walkers, families, and younger participants. The course crosses The Narrows, a valley with steep sides that lends the race part of its name. The "Narrow Way" also connects to a faith-based concept: Allegany County FCA links it with the path to eternal life. The race generates scholarship funds for students attending local and regional FCA camps. Local high school cross country runners are also given a racing chance, and participants can form or join teams.
