Packet Pickup is Wed. Nov. 27th from 4:30-6pm and Thurs. Nov. 28th from 7:45-8:45am. Please come Wednesday if you can. You MAY have a friend or family member pick up your bib.
Please bring non-perishable food to the start of the race and help us donate more than the 900 pounds of food we gave to North Valley Food Bank in 2018.
We are keeping this race low-key with no shirts or swag, but we’re hoping to donate more than the $2000.00 we gave to North Valley Food Bank last year. Come support our community while helping your own body before we go home and eat far too much food.

Whitefish Theatre Co. presents “Into The Woods”
12/05/2019
7:30pm - 9:30pm
An ambivalent Cinderella? A rebellious Rapunzel? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch…who raps? They are all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s Tony-Award winning, fractured fairy tale, Into The Woods. When a Baker and his Wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest to break the spell, swindling and lying to Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack (of beanstalk fame). But when everyone’s wishes are granted, the consequences of their self-centered actions come to haunt them. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving life lesson about working together, the stories we tell our children, and the real meaning of “happily ever after.”
