The run/walk will start at the front of Frostick Elementary and head to the sidewalk on Howard, then take a right on Sanborn to the trail by the duck pond and continue to follow the bike path along M-90, then turn right on the sidewalk on Howard and back to the school. This is a fun run, so it will not be timed. However, we do plan to have a clock at the end of the race so each person can see their time.
First 100 registered participants will receive either a winter hat or headband. ALL participants will receive a wristband for FREE entry to the Chili Cook-Off to sample the chili. After your run, enjoy some delicious chili and vote for your top 3 favorites. Winners of the Chili Cook-Off will receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place trophy. There will be a $5 fee for non-race participants to sample the Chili, which will be collected at the door.
