Organiser's Description
This event is a charity community run with all proceeds going towards the Salvation Army. If you are unable to attend the run but would still like the help the cause, there is an option to just donate as well. Please also bring gently used shoes to the race! We will be collecting these shoes to send to the Salvation Army for local people in need. You can find the drop off containers by the main table near the start line.

Only volunteers may park on the north side of the start line. Finally, there is a parking lot south of the start line on Illinois. Be aware that this lot is not open to enter or exit while the race is ongoing. From wherever you park, please follow the pink lines displayed on the map below to walk from your car to the start line.
