Event details

The 5K begins and ends at the Clayton corporate offices parking lot. Early packet pickup will be announced; race day packet pickup is available on site from 1:45 to 2:45 PM. Registration uses tiered pricing with no refunds or bib transfers. Custom unisex t-shirts are reserved for participants who register before October 31; registrations after that date receive shirts only while supplies last. Awards include cash to the top three overall male and female finishers, age-based awards for Masters (40+), Grandmasters (50+), Senior Grandmasters (60+), and top three in each ten-year age group. The event is chip timed, but awards follow gun time per USATF regulations; awards not picked up on race day will be donated. Roller blades, strollers, bicycles, and dogs are not allowed on the course; headphones are discouraged. The 5K course closes at 1 hour and 15 minutes and course support ends at that cutoff. Results will be posted after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
