Listed entry fees are $45 for the Nutty Runner and $35 for the Designated Driver; prices increase after December 31, 2025. The listing shows 136 spots remaining for each event.
Course, logistics and rules
The course is an open, three-lap loop that uses a gravel drive, trail sections, and neighborhood streets; runners may encounter bikes, walkers, dogs, and cars and are asked to use sidewalks when possible. Packet pick-up is available at Columbus House Brewery on the two days before the finish (Friday 3/12 5-7pm and Saturday 3/13 2-4pm). There is no parking at the brewery on race day; attendees are directed to downtown lots, Wilson Park public parking, bikes, or ride-share options. Drinking participants must show ID to receive a wristband. Friendly dogs on short leashes and strollers are allowed. Awards will be given to the top male and female in each category as CHB gift cards. Participants who appear intoxicated at check-in will not be allowed to race and will not receive a refund.
