Race Day Details

On-Site Registration will be available starting at 9:00 AM at Grace United Methodist Church. Be prepared to participate in Indiana's unpredictable Winter/Spring weather. Please participate based on the event you registered for. As an example, if you registered as a walker, you must only walk for the entire race. If you register as a runner, you may run or walk as much as you please. Dressing up and creating fundraising teams is encouraged as we race in sisterhood for the benefit of local women in need. The race will start at 1:30 PM. We welcome the use of jogging strollers as long as those individuals start near the back of the lineup and are very cautious of runners and walkers. We cannot accommodate Dogs at this event. Feel free to contact the Race Director, Alli Lee by email at [email protected] if you have any questions.
