Logistics and rules

Registration is online only. Published entry fees include $40 for the 5K, $35 for the Wheelchair 5K, $20 for the 1 Mile Kids Run, and $15 for the Tot Trot; some fees increase after stated dates and wheelchair registration closes before the event. Packet pick-up is at James Monroe High School on multiple days before the race and on race morning. The 5K starts in waves based on estimated finish time: under 35 minutes, 35-45 minutes, and over 45 minutes; participants who want to start together should enter the same estimated finish time. Dogs are not permitted on the course. Strollers are allowed but must start near the middle or end of the participant's wave. Awards are given for age groups and overall 5K places; overall awards use gun time and age group awards use chip time, and awards are mailed to winners. Parking details note several lots off Fall Hill Avenue and overflow parking across Route 1; the high school lot is not available race morning.
