“We are taking advantage of the
race date this year to invite any interested runners and walkers to come in
costume,” said Jay Keiser, chairperson of the MxCC Scholarship Race
Committee. “This will add a new level of
fun to this popular race which includes varied terrain, beautiful scenery, and
a fast downhill run that turns into a fairly level run to the finish line at
the College. We hope lots of families,
friends and supporters take part in this fall tradition that supports a great
cause.”
The race is timed by Sneero and
all runners will have bibs with timing chips. There will be awards for the top
runners overall (male and female), MxCC faculty and staff winners, and for the
top three men and women in the different age divisions of the 5k and 10k.
