Hundreds of runners, spectators, and volunteers from the South Shore communities enjoy the annual event, widely regarded as one of the most scenic and challenging races in the area. The races are wheel-measured with split times and ample water stations.  Refreshments, entertainment and award ceremonies conclude the race. Long sleeved dri-tech t-shirts are guaranteed for entries received before October 15. All pre-entrants will be entered in a raffle that will be drawnwhile the race is in progress.
