This vibrant event, kicking off at 8:30 AM, invites runners of all abilities to tackle scenic out-and-back courses within the picturesque setting of Lake Mayer Park, located at 1850 E Montgomery Cross Rd. Participants will embark on a multi-lap journey, with the 5K covering two laps, the 10K completing four, and half marathoners conquering six loops of the course.
