Same start time as the Full and Half. Course is similar for the first 2+ miles until you reach the Corner Store. Runners will travel on Newman Rd to Old Military where they make a loop (on the sidewalk) and travel to Station St, remaining on sidewalk back to Lisa G's then up the fun hill to finish. Unfortunately- switching from the full or half to the 10K will NOT result in any refund. If you decide to upgrade, a charge equal to the additional value of the race will be added. The 10K is open to those 10 yrs of age and up. Those under 18 must have a parent's signature. Shirt sizes are based on adult sizing. No kids sizes available.
