Race details
The 15K uses chip timing and provides pacers and dedicated support stations. The 15K course includes rolling hills and elevation changes; the 5K also includes some elevation changes. The Kids' 1K is open to children ages 1–10; parents and guardians may join the kids on the course for free with no separate sign-up required. Child safety measures include mandatory wristbands: each race packet for a child includes two matching wristbands, and a child will only be released at the finish area to an adult with the matching wristband. BGC Racing does not provide child care.
Elite runners may apply for elite status and must submit qualifying finish times recorded within the last 18 months; elite runner applications are due February 27, 2026. Charities may request support through August 31, 2025; organizers plan to select 10–15 charities to receive funding. Registration pricing is listed for each event and may change before race day.
