The race starts at 9:00 am; Packet pick up begins at 8 am

The Course:

Participants will run/walk through the beautiful parks along the Ohio River. The race starts and finishes in Smale Park with the course going along the Serpentine Wall and up through Friendship Park. This is an extremely flat, scenic course!

The Cause: Your support will help provide local invaluable resources for people with epilepsy including our camp, support groups, counseling and much more!

The Place: We are happy to announce that we will be gathering before and after the race at Moerlein Lager House on the Banks. This beautiful venue offers great food, drinks and indoor and outside gather spaces. This venue is a prime location for watching the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade at Noon on Mehring Way. Come for the race and stay for the Parade!
