The Details: We've just got 1 mile to go until it's our Big Finish Party! We will finish our marathon with a 0.2 mile victory lap and some post-race snacks.

We will move the festivities inside the Manavon gym in the event of inclement weather. PLEASE come and celebrate Manavon with us - even if you didn't officially keep track of your miles - it's safe to say we've all moved ourselves a mile one way or another each week for the past 25 weeks.
Manavon's very own Mr. Cummins will be playing LIVE MUSIC at our Big Finish Party on Friday, April 29th! We've got some great prizes to give away too. You must be present to be eligible for the participant raffles. We will also award our largest team award and our farthest away participant prize! You won't want to miss the fun!
