This event, categorized as a road race, has a history rooted in celebrating local running and providing a scenic challenge. Participants can anticipate a well-organized 10-mile (approximately 16 km) course designed to be accessible to a wide range of abilities, from seasoned athletes seeking a competitive time to those looking for a rewarding distance challenge.
