We will have a timed 5K and a 1 mile fun run/walk. Pick your distance and help raise money for the upcoming cross country season!
On site registration will be available the morning of the races.
All participants will receive a finishers medal upon crossing the finish line. Light refreshments will be available at the pavilion post race.
