Tales from the Trails

South staff and students celebrated completing 2019 Cumberland County Hiking Marathon. The first year I did it there was only three of us. Can’t wait to see how many join us next year.
Vicki Hixon WyattSouth Elementary School
2019 Marathon done! Looking forward to next Year. Thanks to the Friends of the Trails and all of the Organizations that helped this Year.
Bob Christian
I'm proof that even a relatively sedentary, 64 year old 290 pound guy who has had two (minor) heart attacks can DO THIS! Some of the trails "got my attention" of course. Hebbertsburg especially. I just did it a bit slower than most. More time to take in the scenery, right?
Bob Krausen
We finished our 5th hiking marathon! Great event today! Thank you to everyone who works to make it a reality.
Sheryl Greni Craig
Toni and I just finished our last hike. We decided to do the downtown ‘trail’ last. We recommend doing it in the cool of the evening. A big THANK YOU to all the folks involved with ‘Friends of the Trails’. What a great program for locals and visitors alike.
Rick Dale
I want to give a shout out to everyone involved in putting this "marathon" together.From the sponsor's, to the people who maintain the trails and everyone in between. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU. I really enjoyed it. See ya'll at the festival!
Kenneth Auclair
To you and your team that maintain these trails. We thank you. The designs and the care you have taken to make these tails as beautiful and safe as can be. You and your team should be very proud of what you have accomplished for all the people of Crossville. Fairfield Glade trails were outstanding.
Nancy Tobeck
OK, I'm hooked. I started hiking as a way to get some exercise and meet some people. When the marathon came along I wasn't sure I could complete the whole thing with my travel. I took the challenge, and I crammed it in. I'm happy I did it! BEAUTIFUL trails. Great people.
