Participation Details
The 5k, 10k, and 15k races are chip-timed and include live results and awards. The 1 Mile and Kids Dash are untimed events. Registered participants for the main distances receive a designer shirt, a custom bib, and a finisher medal. For the Kids Dash, registered participants receive a youth-sized shirt, a mini bib, and a specifically crafted medal, though children are permitted to participate in the dash for free if they do not require the event gear.
Finishers can access free event photos and treats at the finish line.
