Each year the GMAA awards scholarships to college-bound runners based on their contributions to the sport of running and their academic achievement. In recent years the GMAA has awarded 2 or 3 $1,000 scholarships to students who have achieved academic excellence and contributed to the sport of running.

All pre-registered runners will be entered into the raffle.Online pre-registration will close the night before the race at midnight.In-person registration will be available on race day 8-9AM.There will be no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.

Refreshments We will provide post-race snacks and water. Facilities There will be porta-potties near the entrance to the park and the park restrooms will also be open. Prizes Awards for the overall men’s, women’s and non-binary finisher in each age group. For the scholarship division (17 and under), top three finishers will be awarded in each category. All pre-registered runners will be automatically entered into the raffle prizes, which will be distributed at bib pick-up.
