Many of our runners missed the January race due to Covid and the cold, windy weather so we'll give them another chance to participate in our Silver Anniversary this summer. We'll have Another Dr. Crowdis Run - 5K only - on July 31st at the First United Methodist Church. Complete race instructions will be posted by May 1st.


​Our winners in 2021 were :
10K - Joshua Grant (35:57.9) and Carolyn Houston (48:46.2).

Alli Hay became the first female to finish first overall in the 5K since the race began in 1981.

Because of Covid-19 we ran the two races separately. Some of our runners competed in both races.

Don't forget, there is NO RACE DAY ENTRY this year.
