Fire Fighter vs. Marine:
Our very own BLES resident Fire Fighter, Rob Hiller, will be running the 1.5 mile route in full fire fighter gear alongside Captain Allen from the Marine Corps. "Buy a guess" for 50 cents and try to be the closest to the actual time they each finish - the closest time to the Fire Fighter will win a uniform t-shirt and the closest to the Marine will win a Marine Corps t-shirt!

Post-Race Festivities:
Plan to stay after the race for some music, food, awards and door prizes to be given away! The top finisher in the 1.5 mile route and the 4 mile route each receive a gift card towards a fried turkey from Copelands!

We are really looking forward to this event and want to thank everyone for participating (runners, sponsors and volunteers)!!!!
