RACE DAY:

Race start time is 8am. The start location will be at the Flags of Honor Memorial Park. Plan to be at the starting line ten minutes ahead of your start time for the pre-race meeting.

The course will begin at Flags of Honor Memorial Park, will then take you through Robbins Island and will finish in Robbins Island. Please note the start and finish are in two different locations.

You should have your bib number attached on the front of your shirt just above the waist to get the best read-rate. Bibs located anywhere else will have a lower read-rate. Bib numbers need to be visible when you cross the finish line.

RUNNERS SHIRTS

New option: You may choose to opt-out of getting a race t-shirt. We have lowered the initial registration fee to reflect the cost without a shirt. If you choose to get a T-Shirt, there is an additional $7.00 fee.

When you get to the "Giveaway" section of registration, that is where you choose a T-shirt size if you want one and it will add on the additional $7.00 fee. If you don't want a T-Shirt, scroll down to the "I don't want a T-shirt" option, click on that option and you won't be charged any additional fees.

May 5 is the t-shirt deadline. There will be a very limited amount of shirts available for purchase on race day.

It is a fun event for the whole family that takes place each year during Willmar Fests. The race is a four-mile, USATF-certified course that starts in downtown Willmar, winds along beautiful Foot Lake and the scenic trails of Robbins Island, then passes over the First Street bridge before returning to Rice Memorial Hospital. Runners will be timed using electronic chips included inside each race bib. Water stops are provided at two locations along the route, and splits are available at the one, two, and three-mile marks. Bleachers are set up near the finish line at 2nd Street and Becker Avenue for spectators, family and friends.

Gather your family and friends to join the race, people are invited to run or walk, create a group name and be in the running to be the largest group. Each group member of the largest group will receive a medal.

Jared Anez was a father, husband, local agriculture business owner, school board chairman, and an active member of the Willmar community who passed away unexpectedly in March of 2017. Jared was passionate about education, family, faith, and a healthy, active lifestyle. These values are demonstrated daily by Jared's wife, Kami, and their 6 children, Sam, Savannah, Harley, Jonas, Sullivan and Lawson and we are grateful for everything they bring to the Willmar community. We are honoring Jared's legacy and the Anez Family's commitment to education and community with this race series.

We are proud to celebrate Jared's legacy by funding scholarships from race proceeds for high school students pursuing post-secondary education in a STEM-related field. Last year, for the graduating class of 2025, the Jared Anez Memorial gave $11,000 to the Willmar High School and New London-Spicer High School Scholarship Programs! A total sum of $88,000 in scholarships has been given over the last eight years. We couldn't make this contribution to high school students each year without the donations from our community sponsors, donors, volunteers, and all of the participants who choose to run and toss with us! Thank you to all of you!
