University Place, WALocal News

The Twisted Cider 5K and 1K will return to University Place on July 26, now featuring a new 12K option for long-distance runners. All events will begin and conclude at Curran Apple Orchard, allowing participants to experience stunning views of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Puget Sound. Runners planning to compete in the 5K and 12K must preregister through the Tacoma City Marathon Association, ensuring proper organization and safety measures. Families with children under 12 can participate in the 1K without the need for prior registration, promoting inclusivity for young runners. This event highlights the community's commitment to health and fitness, attracting participants from the surrounding areas.

The addition of the 12K caters to the growing number of fitness enthusiasts seeking longer races. Last year's event saw a significant turnout, and organizers expect an even larger participation this year. Engaging in such events fosters community spirit and encourages healthy lifestyles among residents.
