Reasons to Run with Us
"Loved the course, the race shirt, the finish area next to the beautiful falls, and the age group awards. It was so fun to be out with such a big, wonderful, diverse
group of athletes - everyone enjoying the day while pursuing their fitness goals. Perfect!"
2024 Get in Gear Participant
"I loved the half marathon course; running from the cathedral to the falls was very scenic! The
net downhill was a nice gift. Loved that TCM promotes family youth running with 18 and under running free. This positive feature makes me want to run TCM races."
