The route is primarily paved trails and sidewalks, with a few short shelled-surface sections. Kids (with or without strollers) of all ages are welcome. Please, no dogs, bikes, skateboards, scooters, or motorized vehicles. All participants will receive a t-shirt and swag bag and 5K participants will receive a participation medal.
As a bonafide NRR FunDay, you’ll also be able to enjoy games with prizes* alongside yummy food trucks,
