Barb Byrum's thoughts:

This is a community 5K that also features the Bulldog 1Mile for children (and parents trying to catch up).
Historically, the race is held on a Friday evening in May, which in Michigan, means it could be freezing cold or hot as sin.
The race starts at the historical Ingham County Courthouse, downtown Mason, and goes downhill towards the Mason Middle School, only to turn and bring you through neighborhoods and then start a small incline back towards downtown. Once you reach downtown, the incline turns into a monster hill just before you turn the corner at the church to finish.
This race is well supported with two water stations and snacks at the end. This is an extremely family-friendly atmosphere and often the volunteers are teachers or employees of the school district.
This race helps fund the Mason Promise Scholarship, which is a community organization of volunteers that guarantees funding for two years of Lansing Community College education to selected Mason Public School students.
