If a 5K is too short but a 10K is too long, the opportunity to meet in the middle is here.

The 10th Annual Hormel Nature Center 8K Run & One-Mile Kids’ Run will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014. Registration will take place at 8 a.m., and the race will be at 9 a.m. at the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center.

Enjoy a scenic fall run with friends and family on the Nature Center trails. All ages and abilities are invited to join this race benefitting the nature center, organized by Overby Orthodontics. Refreshments will be available to all runners before and after the race, with a water station midway through the course. Entrants will receive a Hormel Nature Center 8K t-shirt (first-come, first-served). Awards will be given out to all age divisions.
