As the leaves change, the air turns crisp, and the scents of cinnamon and spice infiltrate our homes, we are reminded that the holiday season is right around the corner. For most, this means pot luck dinners and gift exchanges surrounded by family and friends. But, for some it means crossing your fingers every time the mail comes, as you wait anxiously on letters from home.
The Miles Away 5K Run and Walk is on a mission: to encourage national awareness and respect for the sacrifices and struggles of American servicemen and women serving overseas, and to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for our country.
This 3.1-mile race is Sunday, Nov. 13 at 9:00 a.m. at Harbin Park. The trail run will start up the hill towards the water tower and finish on the right side of the parking lot.

The pre-registration fee (including a T-shirt) is $25, and the pre-registration fee (not including a T-shirt) is $20. T-shirts are not guaranteed and $5 will be returned on race day to those who ordered one. Race day registration is available for $30. Click here to sign up online.
All proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior project.
