Entry, timing, awards, and logistics
Timed events (5k, 10k, Half Marathon) include chip timing with live results and qualify for age-group awards. Awards include male and female overall, male and female masters (40+), and top three male and female in age groups from 10 & under through 80+. The 1 Mile, Kid's Dash, and Virtual events are untimed and do not qualify for age-group awards.
Every registration includes a designer shirt, custom bib (for timed events), and a custom finisher medal. Other inclusions listed are free photos and snacks at the finish. Virtual participants receive a digital bib, event shirt, finisher medal, and mailed packet; mailed packets are scheduled to ship the Wednesday after the race. The race organizer has a no-refund policy and will proceed in most weather; cancellation is possible only if the venue requires it or there are ice hazards, in which case entries may be converted to virtual. Course maps and parking information are provided; the course is subject to change. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
