Guilford Day 5K Glow Run/Walk

This is FUN EVENT, for kids, adults, families, and friends. The 5K course will be from the fairgrounds to Jacobs Beach and back. As you run or walk the course, you will join others who wish to demonstrate support for a positive and healthy culture for youth in Guilford. Following the race there will be music and a campfire, so bring a stick and we will provide the marshmallows. RUN FOR THE FUN! BE THE LIGHT!  There will be no chip timing for runners, and the prizes will be for the first male and first female across the finish line. Serious runners should line up at the front of the starting pack. Of course there will be a timing clock so you can track your own time.THIS EVENT CONCEIVED AND LED BY GUILFORD YOUTH, IN WHICH LIGHT IS USED TO SYMBOLIZE A POSITIVE AND FUN YOUTH CULTURE, AND REVIVAL OF OUR DREAMS..
