This point-to-point 6.6k/4.1-mile run/walk starts in Funks Grove (shuttle service is provided from McLean to Funks Grove), with participants running or walking on the Mother Road herself to our newly restored historic water tower and park in McLean, which was funded in part by previous proceeds from this event. This race has become a much-anticipated must-do for many—join us in having a great time raising money for our community!
