The 6^th Annual VyStar Emerald Trail 5K/10K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk presented by JTC Running will take runners and walkers along the newly opened Emerald Trail LaVilla Link and S-Line Rail Trail. All proceeds from this event benefit Groundwork Jacksonville, the City’s nonprofit partner in building the Emerald Trail and restoring McCoys Creek and Hogans Creek.

• Custom designed Emerald Trail shirts to all entrants
• Custom designed medals to all finishers
• Chip timing for run/walk
• Live results
• Pre- and post-race activities

When complete the Emerald Trail will be a 30-mile urban trail and linear park system that connects 14 historic neighborhoods to downtown, the St. Johns River, McCoys Creek and Hogans Creek. It will link 16 schools, three colleges, three hospitals, 21 parks and the Regional Transportation Center to destinations like cafes, shops, festivals, and events.

As Jacksonville’s signature recreational amenity, the Emerald Trail will be the place where people of all ages, races, cultures and walks of life come together to run, walk, ride and connect with nature and with one another. Learn more at groundworkjacksonville.org or follow @GroundworkJax.
