🏃‍♂️ Jimmer 10K Challenge

Feeling like challenging yourself? Immediately after crossing the finish line of the Sawdust 5K, turn around and run the course in the opposite direction to complete the Jimmer, a challenge created by the local running club, the Milltown Milers, in memory of Jim Hagerl. Jimmer, as Hagerl was known, was an avid runner and supporter of the Sawdust 5K. He died in April of 2018 from an aggressive form of brain cancer. This challenge is free and no registration is required.
