From the Organizer
Enjoy our annual 5K by walking or running the course — and don’t forget to show off your best fall foliage attire! Dress in your favorite autumn colors, woodland animal looks, or any fun costume that celebrates the season.
The kids can join in the excitement with the Kids Color Dash, sprinting to the finish line while getting splashed with vibrant colors! It’s a day full of energy, laughter, and family fun.
As the grand finale of the Race Series, this event is the perfect way to wrap up a season of community, accomplishment, and celebration!
Thank you to our Race Series Sponsors:
