LOTS OF SUNSHINE, AGREEABLE TEMPERATURES, AND GREAT FOOD AND COMARADERIE MARK THIS DAY’S HILLY EVENT

The 3rd Annual Chateau Country Run—Centreville

This year it wasn't just for running, however. Mark says, “Why run it when you can bike it a couple times?” Or, in the case of the Davises, skating provided an ample workout. The food, drink, and camaraderie were wonderful. Thanks to all who participated, especially to our gracious hosts, George and Voula!

The Chateau Country
Course

The 6-mile route runs downhill along Owls Nest Road, then heads across scenic Hoopes Reservoir and a steep uphill to Rt. 52. Then runners are “treated” to a long, grinding uphill back to Greenville in this ”Bermuda-Triangle-like” run (note: arrows on course map can be taken literally).
