Run/Walk categories to participate in include a children's one mile run for youngsters 12 and under, a one mile run that anyone may participate in, and a four mile run/walk that also is open to anyone. All races start and end in front of the Belle Isle Casino. Youngsters who participate in the one mile run will earn a trophy upon completion of the race. The first three males and females to reach the finish line in the four mile run will score gift certificates.
