We are proud to support as many charitable causes as part of our mission to help improve people's lives in any way possible. Our charitable donations strategy is to work closely with the permit agencies (municipal, state or private party) and ask them what organizations need financial support for their non-profit activities. A core part of our business mission is to try and help make the world a better place for all people.

We have donated to numerous organizations, including local fire departments, townships, conservation organizations, human relief organizations and most importantly, to organizations that help children in need. After we make sure that our commitments to local organizations are met or exceeded, our favorite national organization is Turnaround Arts. Turnaround Arts works to ensure that every child in America has access to an education rich in the arts. We are happy to contribute as much as possible to Turnaround Arts.

• All events start and finish at the same point next to the Cement Kilns.
• The half marathon course is two loops of a 5.25 generally flat course on immaculate asphalt without any potholes.

https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5459102422/

• The 5.25 mile loop contains a spur out and back at mile 4.25 that adds enough distance to make each loop 6.55 miles.

  • The low point of the course is 365 feet, the high point is 389 feet.

  • There is a total elevation gain of 184 feet in each 6.55 mile loop.

  • There aren't any hills, but one area gains 30 feet in 3 tenths of a mile.

• The 10k athletes follow the same loop as the half marathon with a shorter out and back spur to get 6.2 miles in one loop.
• There will be aid stations with water and Gatorade about every two miles. 

There will be aid stations with water and Gatorade approximately every two miles. 
Please make sure to put your garbage (bottles, gels, etc.) in or near the provided garbage cans on the course (just after the aid stations) or carry it to the next station.
