The BackBlast:

5 PAX ran a 4-4.4 mile run in the humidity of Harleysville, taking a scenic tour of a few (about 14) of the many different baseball fields throughout the area.

Starting at the pool parking lot, the group headed south out towards School Lane, before making our way out to Maple Ave. After crossing over main street, we picked up the trail near Alumni Ave (behind Harleysville Hotel). We did a quick loop of the Wilshyre Way, then headed towards Alderfer park via Broad Street, then Oak Ave. We toured a few of the baseball fields at Alderfer Park, then headed back towards our starting point and picked the trail up off of Broad Street, toward Alumni Ave. After a quick loop around the pond at Dan Roth, we got back on Maple Ave toward Indian Valley Middle School (surprisingly steep incline!). We looped around Indian Valley Middle School and saw a few more baseball fields, then moseyed towards the Harleysville Baseball Complex. We finished our run following the path through Harleysville Baseball Complex, then to the “big field” (home baseball field of Souderton High School), back to the pool parking lot. Approximately 4-4.4 miles for the group.
