Sam's KIDS 5K
The 3rd Annual Sam's KIDS 5K takes place in Dewey Beach, Delaware. This event features a 5 km distance starting at The Lighthouse Restaurant, with the course set against the backdrop of the Rehoboth Bay. The race is organized to support Sam's KIDS, a non-profit organization that provides services for children in distressed situations, including animal therapy, academic scholarships, and nutritional support.
Participants in the event receive several amenities:
- An official Sam's KIDS 5K T-shirt.
- Access to a post-race breakfast buffet featuring items such as French toast, quiche, bacon, sausage, fruit, and pastries.
- Post-race beverages including craft drafts and other drinks.
- Live entertainment provided by a DJ.
The event utilizes different timing methods for awards. Overall male and female winners, as well as Masters categories, are determined by gun time. Age group awards, which recognize the top three finishers in categories ranging from ages 9 and under to 70 and over, are based on chip time. Registration and bib pick-up are held locally on the morning of the event at the Hyatt Place Dewey Beach and The Lighthouse Restaurant.
