This evening will feature a 1-mile warm up run, the 1600-meter race, a youth 100-meter fun run, and a 2-mile handicapped race where the less fast runners get a head start. The series is open to all Steeplechasers members and best of all…it’s free! All members of all ages and speeds are welcome and no experience is required…you’ll learn on the run!
