The 5K Tug Run will once again be located in downtown Port Byron! Runners will head south on a scenic tour along the Mississippi River via Main Street and the bike path starting and ending just south of the River Valley District Library. Runners will turn around near the Rapids City docks. Each 5K runner who registers by July 31, 2016 will receive a t-shirt. Shirts not guaranteed if registered after July 31.
