After the race, participants will receive a yummy cookie [donated by local baker Sugar Riot], and we will also provide post-race snacks and water, of course!
There will be awards for top male and female times - award TBD.
Participants can still sign up and register the morning of the event, but please note: Cookies and giveaway items will be provided to day-off registrants while supplies last.
Thank you so much for your support! See you there! 🍪🏃♀️➡️
