Early bird registration has already ended but the regular pricing of $35 is still available. Kids ages 6-15 pay their age for the 5K and 10K, and the one mile run is $15 for all who participate.
Registration will begin at 8 a.m. at the race site, located on the 100 block of Main Street in downtown Monroe. The 10K will begin at 10 a.m., the 5K will begin at 10:05 a.m., and the one mile will begin at 10:08 a.m. After the main event, children are also invited to take part in the Kiddie Dash.
