We all run for ice cream! Celebrate National Ice Cream Day a day early by scampering down the Peace Trail for our unique 5K or 1 mile fun run. Scoot your way through the sweet obstacles like the slippery syrup slide, banana split slither and the mystery pit. See what our mystery topping is this year at the turn around point of the 5K. Skipping any obstacle results in a “3 screams for ice cream” penalty per obstacle (completed at the obstacle). This fun run is not timed and is great for friends and families of all ages and abilities. Once you cross the finish line, you will be rewarded with free ice cream from the West Court Street Dairy Queen!
