The race is organized by the Ketchikan Running Club. The money is being used to fund an array of education, screening, research and treatment programs in Washington and suburban areas of Maryland and Virginia. The goal of this year's race is to emphasize the importance of saving lives through education and early detection. Expected participants include Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore. All races start and finish at St. Anne School, with the 10-K extending out of town on moderately challenging asphalt roads.
All participants receive T-shirts.
From there it's off to Sydney. This worldwide program is being conducted with the cooperation of USA Track and Field. Let RaceBuilder help. RaceBuilder is a software package designed for race directors of multisport or single sport events. Deadline for submissions is March 31, 2000.
