Recycle Run 5K

This is a fun way to start your Thanksgiving Day! The cost is only $10 plus 1 non-perishable food item per participant. Unique awards for standard age groups. T-Shirt options are limited - they are leftovers from past races (thus the "recycle" name). This is a flat, fast 5K course. There will be refreshments at Ferry Park afterwards.
