A free ¼-mile kids' run is also part of the event day. The course starts and finishes near the Ingham Ship.
Event Features
The event includes a costume contest with categories like "Most Edible," "Fiesta Upcycled," "The Piñata," and "Squad Goals." An after-party features snacks, margaritas, and music.
Participants receive a finisher medal and a swag bag with sponsor merchandise. The first 50 registrants for the 5K receive a memorial T-shirt. Additional T-shirts are available for purchase.
Medals are awarded to the top three overall male and female runners and walkers in the 5K, and the top three overall male and female finishers (including a 12 & under category) in the 1 Mile. Awards are also given for best costumes, and there is a 50/50 raffle.
