Hosted by the Bigfoot Running Company, this lively morning race offers distances for every pace, including a Kids Dash, a fun 1 Mile run, the 5K (3.11 miles), and the challenging 10K (6.22 miles). Runners can expect a course that winds through parks and greenbelts, featuring a varied terrain of pavement, crushed granite, and occasional dirt paths.
