- 5K

Events are organized as capped waves with a smaller, group-run format. All paces and ages are welcome; participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. The runs allow walking as well as running and do not require special equipment. Timing is optional: participants may record times with personal apps or ask coordinators to help track; timing chips are not used.
Registered participants receive a swag bag shipped to their US mailing address, with a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on race day and shirts are mailed the week of the event. An optional technical running shirt is available for a small additional fee. Online results and a certificate of completion are provided, and participants receive an invitation to local running clubs associated with the organizer.
Two themed events described are Run for Mental Health, focused on awareness and stigma reduction, and SuperHeroes Run, celebrating everyday heroes. Sponsors for these events include GATORADE and other partners. A charity initiative donates $1 for each mile logged after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
