Thirty-nine iterations of the Great Rat Race have come and gone and the 40th is coming down the home stretch. Runners can enter the 1M fun run/walk, or the 5K or 10K races. The race will be held on Saturday, Oct. 9. Ward & Glass is a major sponsor of the run. All three races will begin at 9 a.m. in front of the Noble House Bed & Breakfast. Medals will be awarded around 10:30 a.m. for the top three finishers in each age group.
“This is a flat, fast course,” former race director Toni White said. “We get a lot of repeat runners from as far away as Texas, Colorado and Kansas” she added.
Those interested in running can register beforehand on the website active.com. Registration packets can be purchased for $30. Runners can register onsite the morning of the race starting at 8 a.m. The first 75 entrants will receive a free T-shirt. Refreshments and awards will be presented at the Noble House following the conclusion of the 5K/10K race. Make sure to come out and support the runners as they make their way through the course and compete in the 40th Great Rat Race!
