About the St. Joseph Fun Days 5K Race and Kids Fun Run
This race is part of a parish festival, so the start and finish sit right in the middle of the fairgrounds, near the bingo tent. The course takes runners out from the festival and back into the heart of it. A kids fun run goes off first, so there is already some noise and energy by the time the main race starts.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the church parking lot, with a second window at the start line before the race. After you finish, the rest of the festival is right there.
