The Geneva Academic Foundation (GAF) invites all Geneva students, teachers, alumni, and community members to join us for the GAF 'Mighty Vike Homecoming Hustle' featuring a 5K, 1 mile, Junior Jog (age 9 and under), and a Toddler Trot (age 5 and under).
Feel free to run or walk. The only requirement is to have FUN! This will be an untimed event, but feel free to self-time!
In addition to the run, there will be a Costume Contest, pumpkin and mum sales, outdoor lawn games, music, refreshments, and tours of Geneva High School--perfect for returning alumni. Meet old friends and make new ones!
Since it will be an untimed event, there will not be prizes for the run, but there will be prizes for the Costume Contest. Prizes will be given to the Best Child Costume (age 12 and under), Best Teen Costume (age 13-18), and Best Adult Costume (age 19 and over).
There will also be a contest for the school with the most contestants and for the alumni class with the most contestants!
Race packets for registrations received after 10/8/14 must be picked up at the race.
