The US National Whitewater Center isn’t done for the year yet…
It’s tough to want to be outside for any longer than the trip from your car to the front door this time of year, but the US National Whitewater Center has great reasons to bundle up and spend some time outdoors. By now you’ve probably heard they have an outdoor ice skating rink and festive trail decorated with fun and funky lights to get you in the spirit, but did you also know they’re not done with their popular races? The We Believe Santa 5k Trail Race and Dog Jog is December 14 and the brand new New Years Eve 5k/10k Trail Race is December 31 starting at 11:45pm.
Planning ahead. Kick off Dry January Right!
