The fun begins at 2:00PM with the Family Fun Run followed by the 5K.  The Family Fun Run is open to all ages and abilities to run, walk, skip, dance, bike, scooter or any other method of finishing the 1.56 mile course. After the Family Fun Run, there will be a second start approximately 30 minutes later for the 5K.  The 5K is open to runners or walkers of all ages.

At 2:00 the entertainment and kid’s activities will also kick off on the Southern Village Green.  There will be a giant slide, mechanical bull and game truck not to mention live music, a live auction and lots of entertainment for all ages.  The band Skinny Bag of Sugar will perform.  For a more detailed schedule, please see below.
