Applied Race Management Solutions will provide timing; walkers will not be timed. Runners and walkers are asked to line up with faster runners toward the front and walkers toward the back.
Age groups and awards follow a revised category structure with prizes for the top three male and female finishers in each group, including overall top three. The Kid's Fun Run follows the 5K and awards are announced immediately afterward.
Beneficiary: All proceeds will be donated to SWAN, a Lancaster based music and support organization serving children affected by parental incarceration. SWAN provides free music lessons, ensemble training, performance opportunities, mentoring, trauma informed counseling, and biblical instruction.
