💰 Proceeds
All proceeds from the event go to a local infrastructure project to support active lifestyles in Neosho, MO. Some of our local contributions of the past include public tools for the Skate park (in Morse Park), doggie bag poles around the park, dozens of new dogwood trees planted around the park and helping the Joplin Road Runners buy a chip timing system which they use to organize local charity races!
🚫 Race Format
This is an old school, no frills race: no finishers medals, no t-shirts. This keeps the cost low so you can bring the whole family without breaking the bank, or sign up a friend for their first 5K.
