Rustic Run trucker hats will be available for purchase on race day. Rustic Run t-shirts will be available for order when you register online. T-shirt orders will be closed 1 week before the event.
Bring the whole family and come for the exercise, treats, and to support the local Glenwood City community! Following the race there will be live music held at the Rustic Lore Days tent in town, by the bank.
