The run/walks starts at 8:30 am at the St. Joseph’s Indian School recreation center with the 5K and 10K courses leaving the campus south on Main Street and along the river through Barger Park. The 5K will turnaround at the bridge with the 10K route crossing the bridge with a turnaround on Mickelson Shoreline Drive near Cedar Shore Resort. The race has not been on the bridge for the past three years due to construction.
