This beautiful weather has us excited for the Peace Race!! We hope you will join us and our awesome friends for the Peace Race on October 18!

Just in case you missed it… 👀🍂

We know it’s still a little early, but Mother Nature seems to have gotten the memo! The extended forecast for race day is looking pretty close to perfect. ☀️🏃‍♂️

Cool temperatures, fall colors, and miles through beautiful Mill Creek Park. What more could we ask for?

Now let’s just hope the forecast stays this way! 🤞

October 18th. Are you ready?
