It’s time to celebrate our nation’s birthday by showing our spirit of patriotism and pride in our country. The Twelve Mile LIONS added several improvements to our community the past couple years through the generosity of our local Township, a local estate donation, and our profits from the race. We installed a new community sign in addition to new playground equipment, picnic tables, basketball lights, and paving most of our drive in the park. We welcome the public to enjoy our park and tell others about it.
Our racing tradition continues for the 48th year in a row. Our race has been featured in several national news and sports stories over the past couple years and interest continues to grow.
