The Heart of Ghent 10K is returning for its fourth annual event, which will benefit several local charities. Bands will be set up along the course entertaining both the participants and the spectators.

There will be a group stretch before and after the race. After running, participants can check out the post-race party, where there will be a food, live entertainment, and a raffle. Awards will be passed out to the top three male and female finishers overall and in each age group.
