Presenting Sponsor
A running community is art. Each person's essence is one color in the painting and all those colors are blended together to create something truly unique and beautiful. Its colors, shapes, and depictions give us inspiration, love, and hope.
RACE MESSAGE
Get ready to lace up those running shoes because it's time for the MFoA 5k and 10k! And guess what? We've got something new this year – a 1-mile Fun Run!
We're dishing out awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each age division and the top 3 teams will receive awards too!
