A Snail's Pace x Adidas Sunset 5000
The Sunset 5000 is an evening track event held at Saddleback High School in Santa Ana, California. This event takes place under stadium lights and consists of 12.5 laps around the track to complete a 5k distance.
The event features 8 separate heats for the 5k distance. Participants are seeded into these heats based on their expected finish times to ensure they run with others of a similar pace. There is a maximum cut-off time of 35 minutes for the 5k. Registration is open to all ability levels, though runners must provide an honest estimate of their current fitness during entry. If a participant wins their assigned heat by two minutes or more, they become ineligible for prizes.
Participants have the opportunity to test equipment during the event, as Adidas provides spikes and technical running shoes for demo use on the track. The atmosphere includes music and food services.
Available distances include:
- 5k
- 1 Mile
All registered participants receive a meal ticket valid for the onsite food truck partner, Birreria y Tacos Doña Betty. Those who complete their race receive a commemorative medal, while winners of each individual heat receive a specific prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
