March 27, 2015 – Hoof Prints Article Hello Mustang Fans!
The next event on tap for the Mustang Booster Club is the 5th Annual Mustang Stampede "Glow Run" and after party will be held on Friday, April 24, 2015, at the Schwan Regional Event Center.

The event is based on a team concept. A team captain is responsible for recruiting as many members as possible. Individual registration and donations will be applied to the team's fundraising total.
Individuals not associated with a team may also walk or run in the 5K. See individual registration information for the benefits received at each level.
