The trail is more than just a route through the countryside—it is a journey through places filled with memories, determination,
and the spirit of Amaris. Every step along this path reflects moments of hard work, adventure, and joy, creating an experience that is both challenging and meaningful for every participant.
Runners and walkers will begin by making their way through rows of beautiful blueberry bushes, where Amaris once spent time picking berries. This peaceful section of the course offers a scenic and refreshing start, surrounded by nature and reminders of simple, meaningful moments. It is a chance to settle into your pace while taking in the beauty of the landscape.
From there, the trail leads over the ditch that Amaris crossed countless times on the way to the upper patches. This part of the route symbolizes persistence and everyday determination—the willingness to keep moving forward no matter how many times the journey must be made. Participants will feel that same sense of purpose as they continue onward.
Next comes one of the most talked-about and memorable parts of the course: the climb known as Bubble Mountain. This challenging up-and-down section will test your endurance and strength, pushing you to dig deep and keep going. It may be the toughest part of the trail, but it is also where participants often discover their resilience and determination.
After conquering Bubble Mountain, the course winds through the big field where Amaris once practiced driving a standard. This wide-open stretch offers room to breathe, refocus, and appreciate the connection between the course and the life it celebrates. The open field serves as a reminder of learning new skills, embracing challenges, and gaining confidence.
Finally, participants will head down the hill that carries them back toward the start and finish line. The downhill stretch brings a sense of momentum and accomplishment as you prepare to complete another lap.
This is a three-time-around trail course designed to challenge participants physically while inspiring them emotionally. Whether you choose to run or walk, you will be surrounded by encouragement every step of the way. Volunteers, supporters, and fellow participants will be there to cheer you on, celebrate your progress, and help carry you through the toughest moments.
More than a race, this course is an experience of perseverance, community, and remembrance. It will push you, motivate you, and remind you that every hill can be climbed when you keep moving forward.
