A 5 Mile Road Race celebrating the declaration of independence in 1917 by Finland, the nation that produced Paavo Nurmi and all those great Heikki & Eino jokes. It just so happens that this year is the 100th anniversary of the Finnish Independence Day!

This particular race was started in 1985 by a hasher by the name of Able Bodied Reporter (ABR), who has ties to Finland, to fundraise for the Finnish American Society. We now donate to the River Food Pantry, another amazing organization. We’ve been running the current race course since 2002.
