The Race Village will be the place to hang out during the day. There is a festival vibe at the event so feel free to grab some food and refreshments from the vendors on site or bring a picnic.
There is music and commentary throughout the day and lots of supporters cheering competitors over the finish line. This year we have some fun activities to keep the kids and families entertained, including giant jenga, giant connect four, and cornhole. There will also be Face Painting for the littlies - this is also a fundraiser for the local school and kindergarten.
And make sure you stick around to cheer on the Kids Dash at 2:30pm - this is always great fun to watch!
Unique to the event is the epic Fun Photoshoot!!
Each year a different scene is planned where props are placed out on location. Competitors can choose to participate in the Fun Photoshoot on their way around their course.
