The run will be conducted under the direction of Ancient City Road Runners. Registered participants will run competitively for trophies and medals in each age group. Runners get a t-shirt, goodie bag, ribbon and smoothie, courtesy of Smoothie King. Walkers can complete the course with a baby stroller or dogs.
