Runner who hates running

I love participating in this race. It's family friendly, well run and a nice flat course. Love to support Mission Africa in it's goals to help the medical team with their mission trips. My husband has been a course monitor for a couple years and has enjoyed getting out there as well.

Great, friendly race

Lots of friendly people to talk to on course. It makes the time and miles go fast. (Even if I don't go fast)

Happy Walker

It's never too late to do a 5K! I'm 83 and this was my first. I may have finished last but I felt like I won first place. The location was cool, beautiful park. Helping Victor and Mission Africa made it very rewarding.
