Please follow all local laws, stop at all lights, stop signs and be careful when you cross at any crosswalk. Maintain a minimum of 6ft between you and others not in your household.

Your race packet will be mailed to you the week of the race.

Please use a GPS watch or phone with a GPS app (Strava or RunKeeper) to track your time and distance. Upon completion, you will then add your distance and time onto this link anytime between April 18th and 24th. Note, submissions are based on the honor system, and there are no awards for the virtual run.
