The stated registration fee for each option is $35. Registration opens on different dates depending on the option: March 12, 2026 for the 5K, May 11, 2026 for the 1 mile walk, and September 15, 2026 for the virtual run/walk. Registration closes on the event date.
The start and finish location is at the back of the ECOS Building. Registrations for the 5K and the 1 mile walk completed before September 1, 2026 include a free T-shirt.
