Participants of all ages and athletic abilities will receive an official race packet tote swag bag, along with a dry-fit shirt and a chipped race bib. Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded to the top three male and female runners in each division.
Complimentary breakfast will be served, and post event activities include live music performances, face painting, a kids fun zone and resources from nonprofit organizations. Don’t forget to dress up as your favorite superhero, and your four-legged friend, too. There will be a costume contest.
