Midnight Sun 10K Run - Fun Event for the Whole Family
To run the Midnight Sun 10K Run, all are welcome. Hundreds of people come and enjoy the run (and/or walk) and also some people cheering on the sidewalks. You can be an elite runner, run/walk with stroller, or however you wish to finish it doesn't matter even finishing it after midnight, as long as you have fun and at the same time knowing it that your running for a good cause. The proceeds will go to resource agency as well as scholarship for local student athletes.
Please enjoy my photo collections throughout the year. I know I have more photos but I couldn't find them and some years that I joined, I didn't have any pictures at all.
