EVENTS: Choose to participate in ONE of these events:

COURSES: The 2011 5-mile course is the same as 2010: Runners start on First at Linden, head south on First, swing through Rice Field past the aid station, turn around at Shephard Rd., return to the start/finish line on First just north of Linden.  Attention Walkers: Those who will start by walking the 5-mile course should please stage on Linden (between 1st St. and 2nd St.) and in the Cinder Path lot prior to the start. We will start all walkers immediately after the last runner has crossed the starting line.  The 2011 1-mile course is the same as 2010: Line up on Linden, between First and Main.  You will be facing Main St. instead of First St.  Head south on Main St., to west on Mays Ave. to the turnaround.  Return on Mays to north on Main to east on Lock St. to north on First Street.  Finish with the 5-milers on First just north of Linden.  Please keep to your left along First St. to make room for the returning 5-milers.
