From the Organizer
Our 15th annual 5k the morning of July 4th! The race starts and ends at Hebron Middle School. You are able to pick up awards ASAP rather than wait for the entire race to finish. We have 1 water stop that you pass by twice. Bathrooms are located inside the school. You may leave your vehicle in the parking lot and stay to watch the parade which begins around 10 A.M.
