Brief Description

This will be the 20th running of this event. In 2012 Mitch Vanbruggen won the 10K race in 32:51 while Kelcey Carlson won the women's competition in 40:41. The 5K winners included James Lavin who won with a 17:34 effort and Donna Levy who won the women’s title in 20:49. Since both of these are new courses, all those times are automatic course records.

Entry fees/T-Shirts
