From the Organizer
Don’t let your race shoes collect dust this summer. Come out and better your 5k and brunch game with the Sunrise Social Club at the River Region Runners sponsored (R3) Wildcat Summer Cup in downtown MGM. Every second Sunday this summer at 7AM we’ll host a 5k at a unique location. Come for the race, stay for the BYOB potluck brunch.
One payment of $20 buys you a bib for the entire series. That’s three 5ks for $20!
The course will be marked and hand timed and very unofficial. Runners will be responsible for keeping their bibs throughout the summer and bringing them to race day. Pickup will be available each race day and sign up will continue for the summer. Let’s all get a little faster this summer while eating more doughnuts.
