About the Memorial Day Run

This race honors military service members who died in the line of duty, and that purpose gives the morning a quieter, more deliberate tone than a typical holiday run. It is part of a local holiday series, drawing people who come back for the series rather than just showing up once. Several distance options mean the whole family tends to show up, including the youngest runners.
