In honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, we invite the community to join members of the FSO, whether your speed is andante, allegro or presto, to take part in a fun, community wide event. Known for his bold, powerful and expressive compositions, the 5th Symphony epitomizes Beethoven’s talent and force.

Athletes can register and can track their results on Chronotrack and Athlinks. The fee to participate is $30.
