Race Description

1/2-mile kid’s run and an approximately 3K for grown-ups. Kid’s run is 1.5 times around the lake. 3K is twice around the lake followed by a HUGE hill in beautiful Mingus Park. You will then run on city streets, down another Mingus Park dirt trail, and finish on the paved path by the lake.

Yep, this race used to be 3 loops around the lake but we have discovered that grownups can’t count to 3. One time around was kind of short, so we’re banking on 2 not being too high.

A map of the course can be viewed here.

We have organized fireworks that evening for all participants!
