It kicked off with a 5K at 7:00 a.m.
Then the 10K race began at 7:30 a.m.
The handcycle and wheelchair race, along with the 25K race followed after that.
FOX 17's Elliot Grandia and Haleigh Vaughn both participated in the race.
More than 10,000 runners showed up to take part.
The 25K race is nationally recognized, in fact, organizers tell us it's America's largest 25K race. The course is a qualifying event for U.S. athletics like the Olympic Team Trials.
