Wunderlich Trail Run & Buck's

In March, we return to one of PARC's most liked trail systems, Wunderlich Park in Woodside. Along with several groves of majestically beautiful Redwoods, all of Wunderlich's trails are well shaded. With well-maintained trails, Wunderlich is just a short drive from Palo Alto.

Instead of our usual runner's pot luck, this month after the run we'll meet for brunch at Buck's in Woodside at 11:00. Runners from Saturday morning's Sawyer Camp group are also encouraged to join us there. This…
