All paces are welcome, whether you love to run fast or prefer an easy jog. Everyone is encouraged to join, no matter your pace.
Best of all, the event is completely free, and no signup is required. Just show up and run! Whether you are running, cheering, or hanging out, it is the perfect chance to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new friends. We can’t wait to see you there!

If you are interested in testing out a pair of Hokas, please arrive early to swap out your shoes. There will be a limited number of shoes in each size.
