All three courses start and end at All Saints Church in downtown Puyallup and wind through the scenic Puyallup Valley. Live music and a massage await you at the finish line.

Each course includes a rest stop at the Emergency Food Network's 8 acre Organic Farm ourside of Orting, which each year produces more than 140,000 pounds of organic produce for Pierce County food banks.

The top 30 adult fundraisers will be invited to a celebration dinner at The Swiss in July.
