We apologize for the late start.
Due to the late start, participants ran ahead of the actual start. At that time, the race became a "fun run" as accurate results cannot be produced.
We hope to see you next year as we regroup and continue to support the community.
We are confident that next years race will be better managed and will again break all records.
You can still register for the virtual race and make additional donations to the food pantry till the end of the month.
100% of your virtual race and donations will go to the food pantries!
