This is a timed 5K run/walk at Potawatomi Wildlife Park in Tippecanoe, IN. The course goes through parts of the park including a nice wooded area and prairie. This year we are partnering with the park for their glow in the dark scavenger hunt....bring a flashlight if participating!
5K: Awards will be given for the top male/female finisher overall as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age group.
Age Groups for 5K: 15 & under, 16-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55+
Fun Run: Awards will be given to the top 3 girls and top 3 boys. :)
The proceeds of the race will be divided between our Young Author's Conference (YAC) and our scholarships. This year our author will be Gordan Korman, a very popular children's author traveling from Long Island. He has written over 100 books for children and young adults. Our scholarships are awarded to one high school recipient and one continuing education recipient. If you are interested in more details for either of these please ask one of our members on race day.
