From the Organizer
This is a family-oriented event for all ages and the course is mostly flat with one small incline near the finish line. There is a 5K course for runners/walkers and a 1 Mile course for both runners and walkers. Each race starts and ends at St. Patrick School and each event will be timed. Trophies will be awarded to the first-place finishers for the male and female runners in each race. Medals will be awarded to first-, second-, and third-place finishers in each age category for both male and female participants. The event is set to begin at 8 am on October 4, 2025. All funds raised will go towards the building fund for St. Patrick Grade School.
