We will also be collecting shoes for the Stride Forward Youth Program, a student run nonprofit program in Urbana with a mission to support underserved cross country and track & field programs by collecting and donating gently used running shoes to student athletes who need them.  PLEASE BRING YOUR OLD SHOES FOR A GOOD CAUSE!!
Packet Pickups will occur on Sat, 10/24 from 1-3 in front of the Frederick HS.  You can also pick up the day of the race, starting at 730a.
The 5K course will wind its way through boooo-tiful Baker Park and the surrounding neighborhoods; the Fun Run will start and finish at the bandshell, staying within Baker Park between Bentz St and College Ave.
This fun event will benefit both the West Frederick Middle and Frederick High School communities.  Proceeds will be divided equally and will be used to support student activities or teacher grants.
