Finish Line Party

After crossing the finish line, meet up with friends and family at the Jefferson Hospital Family Reunion. Enjoy live music at the finish line stage, sponsor exhibits and more food and drinks at this rockin' post race party.

The bands that will rock the finish line include the following:

• The Mark Stinger Band
  Although deeply rooted in the blues, The Mark Stringer Band draws its water from many genres of the American musical well. Blues, rock & roll, R&B, country, jazz, funk, fusion, and soul all mix to create a recipe that is finger lickin’ good.
• Kiwi Band
  Kiwi Band is about a magical vibe: an intangible, emotional response to music. Striving for pure expression, Kiwi Band's music evokes many styles, but is never stylized. Kiwi Band blends modern rock, alternative, and classic rock sounds to create what one critic appropriately calls "funky alterna-pop." Elements of ska, punk, techno, and even country music are all clearly evident in the music of Kiwi Band.
