Recycle Run: A 4-mile run held at the end of April on the Fish Lake Trail. Bring no-longer-needed running apparel and shoes for "recycling" to those in need.

The Half-Fast Ultimate Runner: There is no other running event like this. This IS the ULTIMATE. It is fun for the runners and a great way for volunteers to learn some of the basics of timing runs and how to work a stop watch and chronomix. Each runner must do all the events to finish and be eligible for awards. 5k, 400 meters, 100 meters, a mile, and a 10k.

Sundae Sunday 10 Miler: The second Sunday morning in September, starting at Dwight Merkel . The course has been a tradition, heading out Northwest Blvd., down the hill going by Downriver Golf Course, through Riverside State Park, to Francis and back to the start at Dwight Merkel.

This is another great opportunity to help keep a quality running event in existence--there are many volunteer opportunities here.
