32nd Annual 5 Mile Road Race |
|
The race start and finish areas will start out in front of the Montrose Kuehn Haven Middle School. The registration will be inside the middle gym.
What’s new this year? · We will not have race t-shirts for this year’s race. We are going to have drawstring backpacks! These are in the planning stages, so I don’t have color, logo or pictures available yet. · I am also in the process of getting a different timing company from what I used in 2008. Let me know if you have a favorite timing company.
We broke 300 in 2008 and I am aiming for 400 in 2009! So, bring your friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, etc.
