ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

💀 Run/Walk Route is the usual dump road route for 5k (see map on RunSignUp). We are planning on running Pine St East FIRST. The mile will be an out and back on Pine St, turn around at the United Church.  We may do the nursing home drive loop pending weather
💀 We are hopeful that we can open up the bathrooms; that will all depend on the weather and if the city has to winterize before then 🤞
💀PM our FB page or text 605-351-2275 if you have any interest in volunteering, providing chili, or need race childcare for your littles (OVER AGE 2 PLEASE)
💀Kids Candy Dash is meant for the littles under 8 - we don't want anyone getting hurt. 
💀 This event is a fundraiser with proceeds going to the Philip Scotties Booster Club and specifically for track and field. We are a group of parents that would like to see Philip get an actual track some day...gotta start somewhere!

We hope to make this an annual event and would love to see it expanded next year to include a Trunk or Treat!
