Rob was a long time participant of the Pub Run held every Tuesday and Swan Brewing, so in honor of Rob, you can run or walk the 3.5 mile Pub run course or take a smaller .75 mile walk around Lake Wire, then we will take a toast to Rob when everyone gets back from the distance of their choice. The roads will not be closed. Please pay attention to traffic signs and run or walk on sidewalks where available. There will be no water stop on the course, so please bring your water with you if needed.

This will be an untimed memorial run/walk to honor and pay tribute to a friend and advocate of the local running community and when you get back from either your run or walk, you will be able to choose a finisher medal of your choice from Rob Mason's collection of finisher medals of races he has completed. (First come, first serve)
