The event also will include a 1-mile kids Fun Run (ages 12 and under); live music by The Kurt Thomas Band, The Shetlands, Gavin McCoy Band, and Red White & Blues Band; and food and drinks. All race participants will receive a T-shirt and swag bag. Festivities will begin at 8:00 a.m. and continue until 8:00 p.m., rain or shine.
