Same great race...just no shirt

Participants that are registered by 4/21 are guaranteed a great race in their size.  Registrations after that will receive a shirt while supplies last.  

All proceeds go to fund Forsyth County 4-H

4-H is an educational program teaching leadership, citizenship, public speaking and practical life skills. The goal is to make learning fun! It is the youth phase of The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service . More than 1,300 Forsyth County young people participate in 4-H activities.

We're in North Georgia, and there's not much that anyone can call flat & fast.  This one is pretty close though. :)

We'll be chip timing the start & finish, so everyone is guaranteed to have a great net time.
