-          Your race entry fee includes a race t-shirt (pre-registered attendees only). 

Amenities:     

Course 1 (run and walk) - A scenic, rolling hills course on grass and gravel that is great for both beginners and “seasoned” trail blazers looking for a challenge.  Since this is a run on nature’s trails, the course will be as close to 5K as we can get it!. 

Course 2 (walk only) - An easy stroll around the property for those unable to tackle the challenging hills. This is all flat and good for strollers, young children and elderly.

 Race Results: Race will be professionally timed by the Miles of Smiles TIming Services.; Results will be found at http://www.smileymiles.com
