8 K or 8 Mile - Race Day - General Public

The race website does not allow us to list 8K (4.97 miles) and 8 miles at the same time. We chose to list the event as 8 miles. This was the number of miles that Colonel Skardon used to walk in New Mexico. By combining the two distances, we are eliminating one of the race categories. Just trying to make your sign-up easier.
