Medals will be awarded to the best overall men/women as well as top finishers in each age group. Come join us, RAIN OR SHINE!
For 4th Graders and under, there is the Mini Slicer Sprint! A mad dash to the finish line before the main event for all those future Slicers! All Mini Slicer Sprint participants will receive a medal when they cross the finish line.
The first 100 registered runners will get a limited edition black and orange SPARC beanie!
