Please join us Sunday, 9/11/2016 for the 4th Annual Rocket Race to benefit Auburn Youth and Family Services. This race features a 5k and a 1k Fun Run (kids 10 and under only, please). The race starts and ends at Auburn High School, and this year we are pleased to announce RaceWire timing for real-time splits and Top Finisher results. In addition to the run, we will also have a bounce-house, FREE Coco's Ice (1 free per child under 17, additional servings for purchase) other healthy activities for kids.
