There are two registration types for the same 3.1 miles distance: a Full/Regular entry and a Stroller entry for ages 5 and younger. Registration opens January 15, 2027 and closes April 14, 2027. Regular registration fee is $30.00 and stroller registration fee is $20.00.
Entries include a requirement to provide a minimum $12 donation to the six race beneficiaries, a race bib with chip for on-course timing, a commemorative finisher medal, and complimentary on-course race photos.
