The 2018 event has been cancelled. Please check back for 2019 event details.
Storm the Watershed Festival & Trail Run was created to raise awareness about stormwater pollution and the effect it has on our water systems.
These pollutants can lead to contaminated drinking water, costly sewage backups, and harm the recreational use of our rivers and streams.
The Storm the Watershed Festival & 15k/5k Trail Run will include family-friendly activities like parent/child fishing, a bounce house, face painting, festive fall snacks, local arts and crafts vendors and artisans you can take home, music, pumpkin painting, and much more. Festival attendees are encouraged to assist us in cheering on our runners as they leave the start line. Lunch can be purchased from our food vendor during the festival. All festival activities, not including lunch, are free of charge and we encourage you to visit the water utility booths to learn about how you can protect your watershed.
Storm the Watershed‘s 15K/5K trail race is along the beautiful
Long Branch Reservoir in Locust Grove, presented by
Henry County Water Authority.
15K: $40 online; $45 day of race | 5K: $25 online; $30 day of race
The 15K course will encircle Long Branch Reservoir with views of the water along the route for the first 7 miles. The last two miles will be along narrower, wooded trails. The 5K course will begin in the narrow, wooded trails and conclude along Long Branch Reservoir. The trails are established and feature rolling hills. We encourage you to wear trail running shoes. All race course trails will be marked as either 15K or 5K.
All 15K/5K finishers will receive an official commemorative long-sleeve t-shirt and complimentary meal ticket after crossing the finish line and presenting their race numbers.
