Thursday morning
Crystal Lake Park, Urbana
Free
Registration begins at 8 a.m.
The race ... running, walking, walking dogs, walking kids, pushing kids in strollers, pulling kids in wagons ... begins at 9 a.m.
It's about 1.5 miles, 3 miles if you're tough and you do two laps.
Free hot chocolate and bottled water.
Free ribbons to first 500 or so finishers.

Meet all your townie friends -- at least 1,000 -- and some visitors and start the day with some refreshing exercise.
The weather will be OK: sunny, about 30 degrees, stiff breeze out of the northeast. It'll be at your back for the last half of the course.
I guarantee you'll have fun.
Did I mention that it's FREE?
