This is a family event open to runners, bikers, strollers, wagons...you name it. This run/walk is a great way to get the juices flowing right before we serve up a full meal. All participants will receive a vintage SOS t-shirt that can be picked
up at Parkside Store , which is located next to the Silver Lake State Park. Pick up times are Friday, June 10th any time between 9am and 10pm, or Saturday prior to the race.

Any runner who beats Don Tucker, of Silver Lake Resort & Campground, Sean Henry or Shannon Johnson of Sierra Sands Family Lodge by the largest margin of time will be showered with gifts. Ok, maybe just a few gifts..but tons of bragging rights!
Complimentary food & Live dj (5pm to 8pm)
Don't be late for a dish up of Marilyn's home cooking. She's a pro and a big secret in these parts of the woods. As you enjoy your plate of BBQ cooking, DJ Chris Bosse keeps the celebration going with some solid summer hits. Feel free to throw in some requests, and kids, don't be shy to get your dance on.
Movie night (9pm to 10:30pm)
After a long day of summer activities, you can gather in the pavilion and cozy up with your favorite blanket and movie snack. Our 10 foot by 10 foot movie projection screen with stereo surround sound is sure to put a summer smile on your face.
