Event Details
The 5K and 10K races are chip-timed events with awards for overall male/female winners, masters (40+) winners, and standard age groups. The 1 Mile and Kids Dash are not chip-timed. All participants in the Kids Dash, 1 Mile, 5K, and 10K receive a finisher medal and a race t-shirt. The event features music at the start and finish line and aid stations along the course.
Volunteer opportunities are available in various roles such as water station, course monitor, finish line helper, and mascot. Full-race volunteers receive a race shirt and a choice of a free future race entry or a digital gift card.
Participants can expect the course terrain to be a mix of pavement, crushed granite, and some dirt paths. Packet pickup is available on race day. The event proceeds regardless of weather conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
