With a nod to the well-known costumes and dances, this re-imagined classic will go to show why this musical has stood the test of time. Bring the whole family to enjoy an evening of music, laughter, and nostalgia.

Run 4 Nepal: Sunday August 30th, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
8,800 deaths. 18,000 injured. 2.8 million displacements. 6,000 damaged schools.
The devastation in Nepal following two back-to-back earthquakes is unbelievable. Many people lost their lives and even more are without homes and schools. The future of millions remains uncertain in this otherwise beautiful country. Let’s do our part to help restore Nepal.

The entry fee for the non-competitive 5k is $30 until August 29th and $35 on race day.
The entry fee for competitive 5k is $35 until August 29th and $40 on race day.
