Please remember to bring your water bottles. Let's reuse and recycle! Gatorade and water will be available at the run.
The 1K and 5K Run will be held on the west side of the Mt. Hope Event Center on Twp. Road 362 on Saturday, July 11th. Look for the tent. Registration starts an hour before the race.
The 1K will start at 7:30 AM, followed by the 5K kicking off at 8:00 AM. Every participant will receive a t-shirt and the top 6 overall runners will receive an award. Age awards will also be given.
Sign up today on this site. All proceeds will be given to MCC to assist in purchasing pigs to increase income for families. Registration fees will be paid by the participant.
