Event Details

• Start Time: 9:00 AM
• Course: Scenic, mostly flat with a few rolling hills — and no street crossings!
• Post-Race Refreshments: Enjoy Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee and Apple Cider to warm up after the finish line.

Giving Back

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Nay Aug Park Association for the continued revitalization of the park in the name of the James “Red” McAndrew Foundation. Red, a proud Hill Section native, often called Nay Aug Park a “diamond within the city,” and we’re honored to help preserve it. Over the past two years, nearly $20,000 has been donated to the Butterfly Playground , an all inclusive play space designed for children and adults of all abilities.
