This beloved local event not only features a traditional 5K run/walk but also introduces exciting new challenges for teams looking to test their functional fitness and endurance. Participants can form teams to take on the 3.1-mile course in unique ways: the Tandem Run pairs runners who must stick together with a resistance band, the Burden Run requires teams to carry a kettlebell, and the Heavy Burden Run challenges teams to carry a sandbag.
