This is a community centered event with racing for all abilities and ages. Our goal is to bring people together, promote fitness, and be outside. This is a one of a kind run/race where you will do multiple laps of the same course run cross country style on the grass at WOODS PARK. Perfect for friends and family to come cheer you on.

Fees- All on time, October 3rd, registrants will receive gloves and drink coozy.

Fees- All that register by October 9th, will receive gloves.

Wild Things 1 mile
This is a 12 and under event that will do one lap, and a little bit, of the loop course.

Start time is 530pm for the Wild Things 1 mile
Start time is 645pm for the All Comers 5k

Woods Park 5k
This year we are going to go to one 5k race for all paces. Come push yourself on one of the few flat, multi-loop courses in the area. Just enough terrain to make it interesting, but smooth enough you can run fast even on a cross country course.

Runners will be getting lapped and we will stress the "stay to the right except to pass" principle.

It will be a great night to test your fall running fitness.
