Vendors can rent a booth for $50 to promote their organization.
Patty Clarke has two adult sons in the agency's developmental disability program. She and her family always enjoy coming out to participate. "It is exciting to see our 'special population' walking, participating and interacting with the public. What a joy to see them come to the finish line!"
Registration is open on Active.com for credit and debit card payment as well as a paper form option for those who prefer to pay by cash or check. Pre-registration is $20 for the general public and $15 for anyone receiving treatment services from DeKalb CSB or any other organization. On the day of the race, the fee increases by $5.
