The race organizer (Glory Hounds) sent emails to previous runners about cancellation of the 2016 race. I spoke with someone at the Chamber of Commerce, lack of sponsors was given as the reason. Very disappointing!
have run this race close to 20 times in 34 years running … really missed it this year !!!
I don’t know why it was cancelled. You might contact the race director who produced the race in recent years, Glory Hound Events. http://gloryhoundevents.com/
