Aldo Leopold Charter School is sponsoring the 10th annual All Souls Trail Race to support The Commons Center for Food Security & Sustainability. Participants have the option of either a quarter marathon race or a two-person relay within the Boston Hill trail system. Rugged souls may run the entire 6.55-mile course solo, or they may share the race with a partner.

First, second, and third prizes will be awarded for overall winners in the relay and another prize will be given for the overall winner registering as a non-binary runner.
