About the Zonta 5K, 10K and 1 Mile Fun Run
The race takes place in Arena Park, starting and finishing near the exhibition building at the park's center. Several distance options mean families and more serious runners tend to share the morning, with the shorter fun run untimed and the longer routes chip timed. Proceeds go toward the local Zonta Club's work supporting women and girls.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local fitness center, with race-morning pickup available at the park starting before the first wave goes off. Race-day registration is also an option for those who miss the online deadline.
