Course Details

- 5K: Two out-and-back loops on a 0.78-mile course.
- 10K: Four out-and-back loops on a 0.78-mile course.
- Half Marathon: Six out-and-back loops on a 1.09-mile course.
Participation Requirements
All participants must register in advance through the designated online platform, as there is no registration available on the day of the event. Packet pickup is conducted on-site shortly before the race begins. The event maintains a course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for all distances.
Due to the possibility of other organized runs occurring simultaneously in the park, participants should look specifically for the US Road Running setup near the skatepark to ensure they are on the correct course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
