The Franciscan Rhythms Trail Run Walk to raise funds for the Music Therapy Program is set for Oct.1 at the Lowell Campus of FLPC.
So what sets this 5K apart from the rest?
Music. There will be seven music stations at the different turning points on the trail. The music works as a motivator to overcome challenges on the trail.
I checked out the trails today at the Franciscan Life Process Center. It was just before it started to rain. Once you cross the wooden bridge the trail winds uphill.
It was very calm and peaceful by the old apple trees and the picnic area overlooking the rolling hills and meadows.
The temperature drop from yesterday’s 80s into the 60s made it feel like fall. The nature trail was well groomed and widened since the last time I went there.
The seasons are marvelous on the trails. The entire trail system encompasses 4 miles or 6.4 km on three different loops.
I met people on the trail at the foot of the hill with retreat yurts which is rather unusual. I noticed that new Sisters have professed their vows in 2021 by the Stations of the Cross.
