We are thrilled to welcome everyone back for another year of community and competition. This annual event is a vital fundraiser for the Wayne Rotary, helping us secure the funds necessary to support our local community. Continuing our long-standing tradition, a portion of the race proceeds will be awarded to the Wayne Area High School running programs.

Race Highlights

• Known for being super-fast and flat, our course adjacent the Our Lady of the Valley Church is back in the spotlight and available to provide your next PR!
