**THE 2021 USOLE NO FRILLS TRAIL FUN RUN**
The Universal Sole No Frills Trail Fun Run is back for 2021! Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 18th, 2021. We first did this fun run event back in 2017 and we have had many people asking when this run will make a comeback! Well, here it is as we will be bringing the race from the fantastic Harm Woods where we hosted our Four Mile Classic earlier this year! We have found some cool trail in a location we have never run in and plan to bring it all to you! Don't worry, our No Frills Trail Fun Run will have the same awesome USOLE vibe we always have just with out the stress of racing. Fun is the name of the game with this run!
