We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but unfortunately, today's FSOS Pat Magovern 5k had to be canceled due to police activity which affected the race route. The safety of our participants, volunteers, and community had to come first.

We would like to off you the following options. Please check one below by 5:00PM on Thursday, October 8th.
