Very Fast Race. Set to run before the Christmas Parade thru Concord.

This is a destination race meaning you will start at one location and finish at another.
Age Based Pricing!!!  17 and under and 65 and older will receive a discount at checkout.

Start Line

The start line is between 5/3 Bank and Wells Fargo Bank on Church street near the intersection at Lake Concord Rd.   885 Church St. N.  Very close to the hospital.
