How the road race business has changed in the 37 years we have been organizing events.
Many of you were not even born when running races took place in Wilmington back in 1977.
This 5k is a way for Races2Run thank you for supporting us over the years.
One other item….the Brooks Villanova running shoe sold for $19.95 in 1977.
How times have changed.
