Event Details
Join us for the first annual Great Train Race kids fun run, the perfect way to kick off the summer! The event takes place on Saturday, June 13th, at the Train Depot by the OP Library. Participants will walk, run, skip, or hop their way along a course that starts at the Train Depot and loops along the Rails to Trails path. Distances are adjusted based on grade level.
