Timed Runners Notification
After evaluating the time, effort and expense of having a timing chip available to runners, we have decided we can no longer afford this expense. However, the Race is still on…that is, the Race to find a cure for breast cancer. We hope you will join with us this year to support the fight against breast cancer and participate in the 5K fun run. We will still have a separate area for the runners to line up at the start and an official time clock at the finish for those who wish to note their personal elapsed time. The top survivor finishers, determined by place finish, will receive awards as they cross the finish line.
