Registration for the Sweetgrass Half Marathon and the 10K is already open! Packet pickup will be at Blue Sky Endurance at Carolina Park the day before, and at Park West Recreation Complex on the morning of the race. Guests and participants are also encouraged to stay after the race for the Running of the Weenies at 10:30 AM, where dachshunds will race against each other!
