Apple-A-Day 5K
This will be a non-timed race. Awards will be given to overall male and female winners along with random drawings for 16 lucky runners. This has been a timed race in the past, but this is a fundraiser for a volleyball team and we do not have the resources to keep track of age group/gender results in an efficient way. Come out and enjoy a beautiful run/walk on a scenic trail through the woods. Thank you in advance for your support.
