The course starts at Kiwanis Park, and the neon theme runs through the whole morning, with participants encouraged to show up in EMS gear. It is a fundraiser for trauma awareness, so the crowd skews purposeful rather than purely competitive. Age group awards go to top finishers across a wide spread of categories, for both men and women.
