Beginning at the Swope Toyota Dealership, the course winds through the picturesque Freeman Lake Park, offering a scenic and engaging run on a rolling road surface. This well-established race welcomes participants of all abilities to join the 5K run/walk, while a dedicated 1-mile fun run ensures younger enthusiasts, aged 12 and under, can also be part of the excitement.
