From the Organizer
Come celebrate St. Michael Daze and Knights weekend with a 5k to start your Saturday. This year's 5k will follow the same route as past year's but will change from a Color Run to a chip timed 5k. This fun 5k is for all levels - the competitive runners as well as those pushing strollers or being pulled by dogs. And for the people who really want to get pummeled with colored powder, we still have a race for you. The youth Color Daze Run will begin right after the 5k finishes.
