The races will kick-off the St. Wendelin Festival weekend. 8K and 5K races start simultaneously at 6:30, on a flat and fast course with a bit of light trail. A 1/2 mile kids fun run starts at 6:00. The event coincides with the St. Wendelin Parish Festival which runs Friday through Sunday. Registrants of legal age will receive a ticket for a post race beverage in the beer tent which will feature live music. Kids games, rides, food and other activities are all available all weekend.
