This family friendly race is open to all ages and abilities! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate! The race will begin and end at the Sugarloaf School Shark Park at the corner of Crane Blvd and US1. Plenty of parking is available in the school parking lots and in the grass areas along Crane Blvd (please do not park on the bike path).
If running or walking is not your thing, please feel free to volunteer (we need lots of help) or just come out and cheer for our participants.
