Participant features and services
The 5K is chip timed and offers awards for top finishers. All participants receive a digital finisher certificate and professional race photos available free to download. The event provides a finisher medal that also serves as a holiday ornament (participants must be registered by 12/13/25 to receive it). 5K participants aged 21 or older receive a craft beer from Fiddlin' Fish Brewing. Leashed pets are encouraged; a $5 add-on provides a dog bib and treat, with proceeds going to Ruff Love Rescue.
