Race week is HERE, Shroomies! 🍄
 Let’s make sure your morning runs as smoothly as your stride.

🚗 Parking will be available at Kennett High School, the YMCA Outdoor Pool Lot, and the Municipal Lot.

But remember, the first two fill up fast!

🚫 There is absolutely no parking on race roads! We love you, but we also love clear courses.

Pro tip: The Municipal Lot is just a short ½-mile walk to the start, the perfect way to shake off those pre-race jitters.

There’s still time to register! We’re at over 850 runners and counting. Can we hit 1,000?!
