The 31st Annual Peeper 5K Walk/Run
The Peeper 5K Walk/Run is a community athletics event organized by the Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce. Held at the Barrington Elementary School in Barrington, New Hampshire, the event features a single distance for participants:
- 5 km (3.1 miles)
The course is set in a rural environment and follows a route that has been certified in previous years. The event is open to adults, children aged 10-17, and active or retired military personnel. Participants are required to leave dogs at home.
On-site facilities at the school include restrooms and parking. The event features a "Refuel and Refresh" table providing water, fruit, and snacks to participants. Any leftover food from this station is donated to the End 68 Hours of Hunger initiative. Additional food and crafts are available for purchase from local vendors stationed at the venue.
A portion of the funds raised from registration fees supports the Chamber scholarship fund, which provides educational grants. Awards are presented during the event, including a specialty prize for the participant demonstrating the best themed spirit or costume. T-shirts and specialized hats are available only to those who pre-order by the designated April deadline.
In the event of hazardous weather conditions such as lightning, severe rain, or snow, the race director may cancel the event to ensure the safety of participants and volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
