Make plans now to join us in a CELEBRATORY morning outside, in nature, soaking in the sunshine with your 4-legged Best Friends honoring our dear friend Nina Lea Allen. We're hosting our 5K Nature Trail Run, 1 Mile Nature Walk (dogs welcome but not required) and Nina's Nature Scavenger Hunt (for the kiddos) on Saturday, October 4th at 10 AM at Campbell Woods- 20148 FM 449 in Longview. Our Run/Walk will be hosted by Dr. John and Maggie Campbell at their absolutely breathtaking 105 acre property on the outskirts of Longview and funded by Longview PAWS.
REGISTRATION: per person
- 5K Nature Trail Run is $35 and includes Event Tee, Run Swag, NINA sticker, 1 Drink Ticket (AGE LIMIT: due to the severity of the Trail Run, our 5K is limited to ages 10 and up). Feel free to walk the 3 mile trail if you prefer.
- 1 Mile Nature Trail Walk (dogs welcome) is $25 and includes Event Tee, Dog Bandanna (if bringing dog), NINA sticker, 1 Drink Ticket (Children MUST BE SUPERVISED- no strollers or wagons).
- Nina's Nature Scavenger Hunt is a FUN add-on for the kiddos (age 4 and up- must be able to walk on uneven terrain) for $15. Families can walk the 1 Mile Walking trail together enjoying nature. Children will be provided a Nature Map at sign-in where they can explore, being on "the hunt" for simple yet special gratitude items capturing Nina's spirit. If all Nature items are discovered, 1 super cool prize will be awarded per entry.
NO STROLLERS or WAGONS- Terrain is too steep and uneven on both 5K and 1 Mile Walk.
YOU DO HAVE the ABILITY to BUY ADDITIONAL EVENT TEES during REGISTRATION for $15.
Let's all join as friends for one of the most unique and exciting 5K trail runs offered in East Texas. Experience unrivaled course markings, fun swag honoring our Nina, stocked water stations/aid support and truly exhilarating scenery. Run, walk or just come enjoy the morning. Friends and supporters get in free and everyone is welcome to join in the CELEBRATION.
The fully cleared and wide, marked trails pass by beautiful water features, cold creek crossings, scenic stopping points and go up and over some of the most gorgeous nature in East Texas. While the scenery is a beautiful backdrop, the trails are not for the faint of heart. Our 5K/1 Mile Walk will require physicality and endurance for both you and your Pup. This is not your typical paved path you run or walk in our area- hills, turns, inclines, step overs and more. Come conditioned and prepared- it will be worth it!!
After our 5K/ 1 Mile Walk/Hunt, stick around and enjoy our after Celebration where we gather to remember and celebrate our dear Nina with live music by our friend Lori Rice, yummy food trucks, cold libations, kids activities and lots of fellowship with family, friends and our favorite 4-legged pups. ALL of Nina's FAVORITE things!!
NOTE, it's okay if you didn't know Nina. In following her lead, come as a stranger and leave as a friend...
