Join the Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 1799 for a unique running experience.
This isn't your ordinary 5k Fun Run. Rather, it's a one hour timed run around an (approximately) one mile course. Run one lap and you are a finisher. Run 3 laps, and you've done your 5k. Or put the pedal to the medal and go for gold, and see how many you can do.
REGISTER BY November 5h, 2017 at 11:59pm to ensure you receive an event T-Shirt and beat the price increase!
Both Open Entrants and Scouts are encouraged to put together teams. It's a great way to build camaraderie while enhancing health and fitness.
Awards will be given for top in each age group, and for the top scout troop teams. Teams may consist of up to 5 runners. The team standings will be the total number of laps completed by the top 3 runners on each team. Ties will be determined by the total completion time of the last lap.
