All registered participants will receive a long-sleeved technical shirt and a goody bag full of samples from our sponsors.  Kids will receive a special goody bag with fun gifts after their race.  All runners will also be entered into drawings for fabulous prizes.

This year's race will also honor the memory of Jordan Huver, a vibrant 18-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver last December.  She loved children and planned to have a career that revolved around kids.  She volunteered for the Heart of the City races and was a big supporter of the Kids Feeding Kids program.  This year, there is an option to Run for Jordan during the registration process.  For an extra $5, participants who Run for Jordan will receive a special green t-shirt, Jordan's favorite color, and the proceeds will be donated to the Kids Feeding Kids program in Jordan's name.

See you on September 6 for fun, fitness, and contributing to a worthy cause!  More information is available here.
