_ The 2018 Attack The Castle 5K, 10K and Fun Run:
Do you have what it takes to overrun and attack the castle? If so, come show what you have on
March 24th. Runners will have an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy absolutely beautiful vistas,
while running through roads, breezeways, and trails. But, this won't be your standard race, as each runner will be negotiating the obstacles and defenses established by the Castle's defense force!
Attention 10k runners - Expect the 10k route to be one of the toughest that you have run. This
route is characterized by elevation changes, undulating terrain mixing dirt, sand, rock, and trail
throughout. The faint of heart need not apply. If you survive the siege you have much to be
proud of!

You can purchase great souvenirs or cool off with a snow cone from Kona Ice. We encourage runners to come dressed in anything from silly costumes to military gear. Join us to see if you have what it takes!
