Race Route
While we cannot all be together as a group this year you can still run the Fox Chase 5K route that we always run! And you can run it as many times as you would like and your best time will be counted!
The Youth Mile can be run wherever you would like, however, there will be a course set up behind ARS on the weekends if you would like to have your kiddo run an official course.
