W i t h p i c t u r e s q u e l a n d s c a p e s , a fully stocked stream-fed pond and postcard worthy views, this 47 acre slice of Hunterdon heaven can't be kept secret anymore! And thanks to the Hunterdon County Educational Services Commission (HESC), it doesn't have to be! In the summer of 2017, in conjunction with BaseCamp 31, a not-for-profit with a mission of community health, the Beautiful Beast 15k was born to bring together people who enjoy the trails of Hunterdon County and who are passionate about relying on their health and fitness to make a difference! With a course that takes in the sounds of the Columbia trail, the serene setting of Ken Lockwood Gorge, and provides participants with views that would make any nature photographer green with envy, our goal in producing this event is to challenge the status quo while supporting ESC's efforts to raise much needed funds to support environmental and animal science programs. There's just one catch...to get to the finish line, it's a BEAST of a climb... up Hoffman's Crossing... a hill fit for any King (or Queen)! So if you're ready to soak in some HC beauty, challenge yourself, and make a difference, join us (walkers and runners welcome) on June 8 for Hunterdon's most beautiful race!
