About the event

After taking last year off due to COVID, we are excited to return to the beautiful Skyline park and trails. This run has had many changes over the years, but some things have stayed the same... including - the course always getting harder, the original mission to raise money to give back to the community
Since 2012 there have been 1300 participants who have helped raise over $25,000.
