Key Details
Participants in the 5K receive a race tech shirt and post-race snacks. Awards are given for overall male and female winners, overall masters male and female winners, and the top three male and female finishers in various age groups. There is also a first-place award for non-binary participants. Prizes are edible items provided by Beth's Homemade Goods, LLC.
Registration and Logistics
Standard registration is priced at $35, with a reduced fee of $20 for participants aged 18 and under. The price increases after August 14, 2026. Due to construction work in the park, the event has moved its registration location and modified the course route. Participants are advised to be cautious of construction equipment and uneven surfaces in the park area. Packet pick-up and day-of-race registration opens at 6:30 AM. This takes place under the trees by the baseball field to the right of Silver Lake Elementary School, near the start/finish line at the corner of South Catherine St and E Hoffecker St. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
