The runners complete a 2.5 mile course set throughout the village for the race that has been held every year since 1978, starting by the Dows Lane Elementary School, looping up through the village and finishing just off the Aqueduct in Memorial Park, mixing some hills, some dales, some roads, some dirt, some grass and lots of fun.
