The deadline to register and receive a t-shirt is Sunday, November 29th at 11:59P. Packet pick up will take place the morning of the race at the Torner Center inside Deming Park. Race Day Awards: Awards will be given; including overall awards, age group awards, and walker awards. Awards are based on 5-year age groups.
