In thinking about your plan for arrival and starting your race, please allow ample extra time for detours as main roads in Niles will be blocked off for the safety of our participants.
Face masks will be required when arriving at the Y. You may remove them once you begin your race. It is your responsibility to bring your own face mask.
Virtual Event
With a virtual race, you can run the distance anywhere, for example in your neighborhood, on a treadmill, or at a nearby park! You will have between Thursday, November 26, 2020, and Saturday, December 6, 2020, to complete your race and upload your time into Run Signup. Virtual runners will still receive this year’s race shirt!
