A few highlights:

• Sneak peak on vendors: Mo Tacos & Churros will be there with their breakfast menu, along with many other vendors!
• Coffee, bagels, fruit, and of course water will be provided.
• Our DJ has an immaculate playlist to keep vibes high and the energy pumping.
• Knock on wood....(the weather is looking perfect...)
• Race shirt design reveal! Check out the below mockup from the talented Laura Fischer. All shirts are from Houndstooth.

• We will have "day prior" check-in and registration if you want to skip the hassle on race day! Stop by the SLS Community "Flourish Center" at 2190 S. Razorback Rd, Fayetteville, AR on Friday, 7 November from 4-6 PM to pick up your bib, race bag, shirt, and swag. 
• Race-day check-in and registration will open at 7 AM on 8 November, up until 10 minutes before the start of the race (8:50)! See the graphics below for details.
• Check out the graphics below for the race routes, or head to this link for an interactive race map. You can toggle between both laps of the 5K, as well as the Fun Run route.
• Check out our merch site for more swag: hoodies, mugs, bottles, stickers, shirts, and more. 
• If you are a neurodivergent runner who requested a volunteer race partner, please arrive to the check-in tent by 8 AM to get signed in and link up with your partner for the race!
• Save those Halloween costumes! All runners & volunteers are encouraged to "Dash Like a Hero" by either dressing as your favorite super hero, or re-purposing any family-friendly Halloween costume.

Proceeds and donations this year will go directly towards supporting a new Supported Employment program called Program Forge and other SLS services as we continue to grow! Program Forge is an individualized vocational equipping and job placement program that supports neurodivergent adults to forge a path towards placement and sustained success in employment.
