(10k race) Kids 12 and under are highly encouraged to run with a parent
The nature of the 10k course (open streets/intersections/etc.) means that no child 12 or under should be unsupervised while running. If you're planning on registering kids of that age, plan on running with them!
We're raising money for ABYSA & Fletcher Academy Farm!

We are raising funds for the ABYSA scholarships for youth in our community. ABYSA scholarships give the gift of soccer to kids that wouldn’t be able to enjoy the game.
Donate through your registration or from their fundraising page.
