The Adult 5K is a timed race on a USATF certified flat out and back course. Runners start and finish near the Wheeler Ferris Wheel, go out 1.55 miles, turn around, and return to the finish area. The 1 mile fun run is untimed, flat, and uses a half mile out and back layout. Virtual 5K participants run the distance where they choose and receive a race bib and a custom finisher medal and may submit their time to the online virtual results listing. Pushchair rider registration is for riders only; those pushing riders should register in the regular Adult 5K runner option.
Registration opens August 15, 2026 and most in person and virtual registrations close September 15, 2026; the pushchair rider option has a later closing date. Fees and optional long sleeve tech shirt pricing are listed with each event. In person participants receive a race bib, a custom finisher medal featuring a spinning Ferris wheel, and a ticket to ride the Ferris Wheel.
