Course Details
The races are conducted on paved out-and-back routes. The layout varies slightly depending on the chosen distance:
The 5K and 10K courses utilize a 0.78-mile section, creating a 1.56-mile out-and-back loop. Runners in the 5K complete this loop twice, while 10K participants complete it four times. The Half Marathon utilizes a 1.09-mile section, resulting in a 2.18-mile out-and-back loop that must be completed six times. There is a total course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for all distances.
Participation and Awards
Every finisher receives a themed medal upon completing their respective distance. While not mandatory, participants are encouraged to wear costumes, and a group photo is taken at the start.
