Provided the running of a 5K, a portion of the event proceeds will be allocated to support our Wayne Area High Schools running programs*. Provided the introduction of an upgraded venue, Our Lady of the Valley Church and a super-fast and flat course the event has applied for Championship status and been accepted. The Rotary is super excited to share this event with the USATF and their Coed Teams! SITE MAPS CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE!
