    Course: This 5K course is full of surprises.  This 5k course starts at the legion and heads north in a loop around the residential neighborhood and ends right back at the legion.  The course somewhat flat but has some fun hills for a bit a a challenge.  Nothing too serious.  (LOL)  You can run, walk, jog, flip or roll with a stroller. No pet allowed for liability reasons.

    Fundraiser: Funds raised from this event helps with many programs in the American Legion. In the past we have used these funds to help local veterans with, clothing, food, blessing bags and so much more.  Funds raised also help with building improvement funds like updating the handicapped restrooms.  All this is possible with your help and participation.

    After Party: The legion opens with refreshment services at 10:00 for this event. There will be free chili and desserts after the race so make sure you stick around. There will be a silent auction along with a 50/50.

    Guest Speaker Vernon E Davis II is at 12:30.  He is a professional Stand Up Comedian and Army Vet who is also a Motivational/Inspirational speaker.

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
