Event Description
Track, Field, and Cross-Country Fund Raiser. RUN or WALK -- Sanders County Timing
Our athletes do the bulk of the coordination and setup for this race and will join you on the run.
Select athletes will be 'Rabbits' during the race and will run a pre-designated time to help you meet your 5K goals. Each 'Rabbit' will have a finishing time they will run on their back. Just stick with them and they'll pace you through the race.
