About the Event

The course takes you across the old bridge into Rose Island where you will pass the different sites of the old amusement park, then back through the wooded trails to the finish. 

 

All finishers will receive a custom medal.

T-Shirts
Shirts for this series are an optional add-on.  This keeps the cost of the race reasonable for families. We will have a limited number of shirts available for sale on race day. If you know you want a shirt, please pre-order during registration. 
 
Parking--ARRIVE EARLY & CARPOOL
We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Carpool as much as possible. Parking is limited at Parking Lot.

If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling.
