The 3rd annual SOCKSQUATCH 8k on July 25th will be the best year yet! Why you ask, because this year you not only get a race shirt, tickets to the Burlington Sock Puppets baseball game that night, but you also get a FREE HOT DOG! All the proceeds go to Alamance Animal Services and if you slide into home you get 30 seconds off your time!
