The purpose of this annual event is to raise funds to help maintain the Falling Waters Trail and to support local community and county park improvements to the trail.

Proceeds from the 2009 event were used to help match funds applied for from the Concord Community for development of the Concord Trailhead Park project.

Community awareness is also important as we work to develop programs to educate our community and trail users about safety on the trail.
