NEW FOR 2020

We are giving back to our running community. For many years we have supported our elite runners by providing a cash prize but for 2020 we want to switch gears and give back to our running community. We will be purchasing multiple running accessories to raffle after the event.. Each registered participant will get a ticket with their bib number. The raffles will be in a silent option, each participant will have the option to put their ticket for a specific item.
