Dodging cow patties as you run through cow pasture, into a trail system, along a river, navigate through a wooded section and back to the finish through a big open field.

We want to make this a fun gathering of families and friends for years to come. Come and run, hangout, get outside with us for the first year of this race and lets make some fun memories together. The goal of this event is to "fill the tin" for an orphanage in Nairobi Kenya that we have known and supported over the past almost 20 years. https://www.morningstarorphanage.com/

The race will start at 7:30am. It is a family even so we want to see everyone out there running.
