Description
Event Cancelled due to weather...
There is currently thunder and lightning at the event site, and all indications point to that it's not going to stop.
We are canceling the event, but you can still come out and pick up your swag, and then if you'd like to run on your own at a safe time and submit your results via virtual.
ALL SWAG IS AT THE SCHOOL.
Come join us at Woodland High School for the 5K for Friends, supporting A Friend's House.
We'll be running the 5K on the grounds of Woodland High School. The course isn't super flat, but it's pretty flat & fast. There will be awards in top 3 in each of the normal 5 year age groups 10 & under - 75+.
We'll have a great race shirt and medal for the awards. You don't want to miss out!
