Conquer the Run . . . . In A Costume!
Get your running costumes ready since race day is on Halloween this year! Each year the race has had more & more costume-clad runners. Prizes will be awarded to the top five most creative costumes.
We encourage all participants to bring non-perishable donations to support the great work of our Official Charitable Beneficiary, The Kent Food Bank, as they prepare for their busiest time of year. Donations can be dropped off at the Heron American Craft Gallery (16 North Main Street, Kent) anytime. You can also make a monetary donation when you register for the run via Eventbrite.
Thank You for any support you can give for families in need!
On Saturday from 4-5pm, the Historical Society will be hosting the first of four panels in the ‘Reinventing Farming’ Oral History Program.
