The 4.06 mile run/walk is on Saturday, July 4 starting and finishing on the west side of Depot Park by the O'Shaughnessy Center. Stick around to enjoy the Whitefish Arts Festival which opens at 10 AM. Jeremiah Johnson Brewing and Tamarack mocktails will be served in the post-race finish area.

All finishers receive the official event shirt and medal!
