May the 4th Relay Be With You! 🌌
Hosted by Running Soles in Downtown Campbellsville
A long time ago (actually, just last September), we went bananas on Main Street. This time, we’re heading to a galaxy far, far away... or at least to the intersection of Court and Main!
Join us for May the 4th Relay Be With You, a lightspeed-paced, high-energy team relay race. Whether you're a Jedi Master of the pavement or a Padawan just starting out, grab your squad and get ready to hit light speed. We’re embracing the last-minute nature of this mission - the Force is strong with those who act fast!
