Participants are challenged to complete the hills during their run, they can experience the challenges faced daily by our servicemen/women in this country as they serve us.
So dust off those running shoes, challenge yourself to experience the burn running this event. Also, if you want a challenging walk, the walk also offers the burn as you walk the hills in the beautiful fall landscape at the Arts Center.
