What is a Febapple? I have no idea. I like the course for the Mayapple 50K and 100K that is run in May and wanted to use the same course in the winter. I thought February was a good time to use the trail and thus called the event the Febapple Frozen Fifty.

PARKING
PARKING
As you enter the Park off South Orange Avenue you will be arriving on Crest Drive. If you drive straight until you get to the wooden gates blocking your access you have to turn right into the parking lot on Bear Lane. The registration area will be in the South Area of Summit field. One entrance is across from the Dog Park entrance.
You can park in any of the lots that are on Crest Dr or Bear Lane. Once those are full you need to parallel park on the side of these streets. The park rules state No Parking on grass so be careful. You may have to walk as much as a half mile to registration. The entire circle of Bear Lane and Crest Drive is over a mile long.
