5k Start is at 9 am and the 1.5 Mile shortly afterwards. 5k is two loops through all the parks along water street and through the public beach with a turn around on N. Market to Pearl St. then a straight shot back to the stating line on the sidewalk or street (east side of water street) This race is mostly on the sidewalks so there very little road traffic, maybe a few pedestrians
All participants will receive a goody bag and be sure to grab a chili dog and your favorite beverage at Gord’s bar. Big Mike would have loved this set up. 🌭🍻
Awards for top three male and females in the 5k race. The event starts and finishes at the south end of town. Come on out!
We are also accepting nonperishable items to be donated to local food banks or individual families. Thank you from the race director, Henry Hank Miller
