NORWICH — The Chenango Greenway Conservancy held its 2nd annual Race to the Face 5K and Mountain Goat Challenge in Norwich over the weekend.

The 5K Race to the Face started in West Park; coinciding with Saturday in the Park with Chobani. The first part of the race, competitors went up the Quarry and then back to the park. The second part of the event was The Mountain Goat Challenge. The course was the same; up to the quarry overlook, but in order to win this race, participants had to reach the Face and ring the bell.

Greenway Conservancy Manager Inez Moutarde said, “It was a glorious autumn day; perfect for running or walking. It was a bit challenging headed up but the view made it worthwhile.”
