CSTE Run/Walk Event This is open to runners and walkers of all abilities. There is no fee for the event, but we do ask for confirmation of attendance at registration for further direct communications and details. T-shirts are available for purchase through conference registration only with limited sizes available after early-bird registration. A map of the route will be provided on the conference website. The goal is for attendees to enjoy themselves while getting a little bit of exercise!
