An ideal event for both families who want to enjoy the fall weather and experienced runners looking to wrap up their season with a chip-timed race – the Heartbeat Run has become the last great run of the year.
This may be your year to walk or run! Individuals who’ve experienced a previous cardiac event are encouraged to participate – there is a distance for everyone.
