At 9 a.m. over 100 racers of all ages lined up on North Main Street near town square ready to run or walk the course.

The race was a one-mile loop that started and finished in the same spot. Racers would run down Tabernacle Street until they reached the roundabout at 400 E Street, then turn around and head back to the finish line.

Each runner received a participation medal and a pair of Art Attack socks.

Bob Ross trophies were given to the top three places in mens, womens, girls and boys categories.
