The Geriatric Run was so named because it goes past a home for the elderly. Because some of the runners are starting to resemble this run's namesake, it now has three versions (I, II, III). Do not be fooled by those who might tell you that the two shorter routes were developed to provide for runners who need to return earlier. The truth is that version I and II are derivations that were designed solely to avoid the unpleasant hill on route III, the original route!
All three routes share the adrenaline rush of crossing busy Highway 95 without a stop light, so please be careful.
