"A big goal of the AMAA is to recreate family focused fitness with a focus on youth. They are sponsoring a national Run a Mile Day May 12. Our community will play as we invite all children 10 and under to our free 1 mile fun run at the Harpers Ferry Half Marathon. For children 10-18 we will offer free entry to our 4 mile trail run/walk through the School House Ridge Trails of Harpers Ferry National Park. What's the catch? A free event? There is none, but we highly encourage the child to bring a parent to run or walk with them." Read More
