NEW! 1K Kids Run (children under 10)

This year, we are featuring a non-competitive 1K Kids Run as part of the Family Fitness Run program.
The Kids Run will begin at 7:20 AM, after the 5K/10K races have started. Start line will be in the EAST end of the Registration Area. The course will end using the last part of the 5K/10K race course and participants will be able to run through the Race Finish Line.
Course marshals will be in place on the Kids Run course for directions and safety. All participants will receive T Shirts and finisher medals.

Weather and Safety

In the case of rain, the races will proceed as planned; however, heavy storms with thunder and lightning will require race cancellation. Decisions on race cancellation will be made on race day.
In the event the race is canceled due to severe weather, entry fees will not be refunded.
Dogs, bicycles, skateboards, scooters, or in-line skates are not allowed on the race course.
Refreshments and portable restrooms will be available on race day in the registration parking lot.
10K race participants need to complete the race within 1 hour and 20 minutes. After that time, traffic supervision and course support will no longer be available.
