This is a timed 5K run/walk at Potawatomi Wildlife Park in Tippecanoe, IN. The course goes through parts of the park including a nice wooded area and prairie. This year, once again, we are partnering with the park for their fall fest. In addition to the run there will be fun activities and food.
5K: Awards will be given for the top male/female finisher overall as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age group.

The proceeds of the race will be divided between our Young Author's Conference (YAC) and our scholarships.

Our scholarships are awarded to one high school recipient and one continuing education recipient. If you are interested in more details for either of these please ask one of our members on race day.
