Update from Friends of Forest Hill Park:

Forest Hill Spring Classic postponed until next weekend, Sunday, April 15, 1-5 PM.

Walk-up registrations and pick-up of shirts and packets will take place on Saturday afternoon, April 14, 1-3 PM and on Sunday morning, April 15, 10:30 AM-12:30 PM at the Stone House, Forest Hill Park.

We walked the trail this morning and found it too soggy and unsafe for anyone to be biking there this Sunday.
Look forward to a sunny day on April 15 for the races.! If it rains, we will postpone until the following Sunday, April 22.
