About the Event

All finishers will receive a free John E. Nagel Foundation Runners T-shirt, provided by the John E. Nagel Foundation, as the organization honors the late, great John E. Nagel, who gave so much to the community and contributed to the development of many young athletes in his 46+ years as a coach, educator, mentor, and athletic director.
