About the Venue
Sandy Creek park offers the perfect setting for this race. Our start/finish area features a large pavilion with full bathrooms (including showers), a large open field, a small lake-side beach, and a huge playground.
The park requires $2 per person to enter, which is covered with your race entry fee. All spectators will still be required to pay the $2. There is no cost for ages under 4 or above 64. If you have an annual pass to Sandy Creek, make sure to have that out when you enter the gates.
