The Nature Connection 5k

Start at The Nature Connection headquarters. Head out past the Pump Track and Ballfields on Yellow Brick Road. Stay left at the first junction and follow Yellow Brick Road North until you meet the junction with Beetlejuice. Stay right on beetlejuice and make a HARD left on Dragonfly. Take Dragonfly trail until you hit Narnia. Stay right at the junction with Narnia. Narnia takes you on a big look of the riparian area. Once you hit a big old cottonwood, climb the hill to the left on Squirrel Cage. Enjoy the fun wooden berm on the descent! Once you cross a couple bridges, stay right briefly on Dragonfly and this time head up hill (right) to climb Upsy Daisy. Get ready for the most serious climb of the trail! At the top of the hill, descend on Centipede trail. This will take you back to Yellow Brick Road. On your way back to NC you can take the *Optional* “jump line” for bikes and the ending at the pump track where you started.
