RACE FEATURES:
Our race benefits the Madison County Animal Shelter, so bring your furry best friend along for a run/walk! Please note all dogs MUST be kept on a fixed length leash at ALL times during the event, except inside the fenced enclosure at the Dog Park.
Race T-shirts are custom designed by a local artist and trust us you’ll want to wear this one everywhere! Special prizes will be awarded for top finishers including Bagel King/Bagel Queen.
Swag bags include coupons for local restaurants/shops and local trail maps - Berea is perfect for exploring so plan to spend the day adventuring in town or at the Pinnacles!
