Walking options take place inside the park and include 2.5 miles and 5 miles. Children under 12 ride or walk free with a paid adult on the 5 and 10-mile bike routes and on the walking routes. Only the 20, 10 and 5-mile bike routes will be marked; participants are strongly urged to use the Ride With GPS app to follow routes.
