Details are being worked, out, but as of press time, the race will be in The Clarkston News parking lot, at the corner of Main and Washington streets. The race is sponsored by Kinetic Systems Bicycles.
Downtown businesses will offer kid activities, contests, snacks, beverages and plenty of discounts for those still shopping for Mother’s Day (May 8).
