Eco-Friendly Run

To reduce waste, this will be a cupless race. Water, coffee, and snacks will be provided at the start/finish line, but we encourage you to bring your own bottle if you want water along the course.

Merch & Awards

Be sure to check out our merchandise, including t-shirts and bags, with proceeds going to the cause. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each race, so give it your all!

The Route

Both the 1M (white track) and 5K (red track) start near the last softball fields at Park Road Park. The race begins down a fast chute and then leads into the serene and picturesque Sugar Creek Greenway. The 5K course crosses the creek four times via wide bridges, offering scenic views at every turn. The paths are mostly flat, with a gentle uphill finish back up the chute. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, traffic-free run while taking in the natural beauty of the park.
