We have Bonfire coffee, tea and hot chocolate to kick off the race. Post race we have snacks and materials for Peeps Smores.

The local businesses have been very generous and we have over 30 prizes for the gift giveaway.
Awards for the Downtown Race will be announced at 10:45. The raffle will take place at 11:05 for both races (must be present to win). Awards for the Farther Afield race will be at 11:30.
