This exciting event features two races: a scenic two-mile race/walk starting at 3 PM, followed by an 8K (5-mile) race/walk at 4:30 PM, right after the 5K award ceremony. Both race distances are USATF-certified and electronically timed, ensuring participants receive certified times and the chance to qualify for state records.
