From the organizer
This race will start and finish on Kenosia Avenue. Runners will begin the race heading northbound until they reach Christopher Columbus Avenue. From there, runners will continue around the cul-de-sac and head back towards the start/finish line. The course is flat and will have a hydration table set up around the halfway point. There will be a post race party and awards at Elicit Brewing following the race with live music by Kenny Mehler.
Every dollar raised from this race will go toward supporting an officer’s child’s higher education fund. At the end of the event, a recipient will be randomly chosen by an independent third party.
A free beer from Elicit Brewing will be given to any runner age 21+, with valid proof of sign up.
There will be plenty of parking available on race day at the Elicit Brewing lot, located at 15 Backus Avenue.
Early bib pickup will be available on Saturday, June 6th at Elicit Brewing.
We are currently trying to obtain sponsors to help fund medals for all participants. This page will be updated if and when that occurs.
This event will be rain or shine.
