From the Organizer
Join us for the 3rd Annual Mustang Dash 5K!
Pre-registered individuals can pick up their shirts starting at 7:30 am at the Portage Football Stadium. The race will begin at 8:30 am. All runners/walkers will travel through our town of Portage: past the football stadium, up to Main Street, and through Crichton McCormick Park. The 5k will end with a lap through the football stadium.
There will be prizes awarded to the first 5 males and first 5 females to cross the finish line! 1st place will receive a pie, 2nd thru 5th will receive a summer treat!
This race is for the entire family! This will be an untimed fun-run, but we will have a running clock at the finish line.
Shirt cutoff date is Friday, July 24th!
