2nd Annual Almost 7 Heaven Race

The second Almost Heaven 7(k) will be held on Saturday, July 22 at the St. Albans City Park.  This is a beautiful, rolling course nestled in St. Albans that consists of primarily single track trails.  The race begins promptly at 8:00 a.m.  Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers and the top three in each male and female age group category.
