“We’re excited to be holding this event post Covid-19 to get everyone back together in person, and provide something that the community has been wanting for a while,” Parks & Rec’s Jennifer LeTourneau said. “We’re also really excited about the new location at Liberty Park. Runners will enjoy a beautiful run along the river and we’ve got that perfect weather for runners.” One thing veterans of the event were happy about is how flat and fast the new course is compared to the years when it ran through the hills of downtown.

“We’ve got more than five hundred runners signed up already,” Kara Zahn said. “The course is new and improved. We’ve created new routes that are 1-mile, 5K and 10K, that include Riverside Drive and McGregor Park. It’s flat, fast and certified. We plan to continue the event here next year and we’re excited about the great turnout we have today.”
