Our 7th annual Team RunFree 'Miles of Smiles' 5K race is happening on Saturday, June 13 ! Get ready for another fun race through the streets, parks and trails of Adel. Our Team RunFree and Synergy adaptive running teams will again be sharing the road and supplying even more smiles as they race the 3.1 mile course. Annnd ... walkers have their own category with a 2 mile route.
Early sign-ups will be rewarded with an extra special price of just $15 The price will bump to $20 on May 1st, then $25 on June 1st.
Due to Adel street construction, our regular race route has changed dramatically. Runners and walkers will have an entirely new route - at least for this year. This year's race will begin and end at Evans Park in Adel - 925 So. 12th St.
Medals will be awarded to the top 2 finishers in each age/gender runner group.
In addition to a fun chip-timed 5K race, all racers and volunteers will enjoy a Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwich, fruit, snacks and fresh brewed coffee from The Rooted Bean. All participants will receive a really neat looking pair of Team RunFree socks. MANY thanks to Lincoln Savings Bank for sponsoring us and making this race a reality. We wish you a great race, an enjoyable meal and the inspiration to 'pay it forward'.
