Food trucks will be waiting at the finish line. All skill levels are welcome!

1-Mile Family Fun Run DetailsThe Family Fun Run will be run on a flat, all-grass path that loops around Old Trail Schools athletic fields and past the solar array twice. Jogging strollers are permitted. All children, ages 4 and up, will receive finisher medals.
