Global Running Day celebrates what makes running so special–camaraderie and friendship, endorphins and accomplishment, and the chance to challenge your personal limits.

The race will be managed and timed by River City Races, with awards and prizes for top finishers.

At 6:00 pm, we invite all kids to join us for a short Kids Dash untimed fun dash run/walk taking place at the Start/Finish. This is free for children and all participants get a finisher's medal!
