We welcome the tail feathers of Elite runners, weekend warriors, mamma's with strollers, and kids alike along our fast 3.1 mile run course - walkers are welcome! Or, our NEW tradition, the 1 Mile FUN RUN! Proceeds go to scholarship kids in the community to be active through our Operation Active Kids Program, OAK. So, if you have a flair for costumed fun, and enjoy fun, prizes and looking for a reason to feel guilt-free about gobbling down all day, then lucky for you (and your love of green bean casserole) we are here, so get signed up you turkeys!
