Participants can sign up to run the race, businesses can sponsor the event, and volunteers are always needed to help make the day a success. Kristen explains how the event has become a community tradition and why it continues to grow every year. This year, they expect close to 1,000 visitors to the area for the race.  Tune in to hear Kristen’s story and the mission behind the race—and if you want to participate, volunteer, or become a sponsor, visit the official website:https://www.tacklethetar.com.
