Run the Hill Kids .67 Mile Fun Run!
Kids are invited to run down the hill for a fast start and turn around before the first intersection and return up a daunting hill to the finish line as the 5K runners cheer you home! The distance is .67 miles. There will be a donut and a cider at the finish for the kids. And probably some candy too! Cost is $5.67 including fee. This is not a timed event, there is not shirt, and no medal. Just a fun run for the kids with the snack as the reward at the finish!
