Race Details:
This is a 5k (3.1 miles) run/walk and will begin at 10 a.m. in Veterans Park. The finish will also be in Veterans Park. All participants will receive a goody bag and a shirt. Shirts will be guaranteed to those who register by May 31. There will be shirts available for late registrations, but sizes are not guaranteed.
There will be a special Six Legged Division sponsored by the Animal Doctor Holisticoc Veterinary Complex for people running or walking with dogs. Proceeds from this division benefit Pets for Vets and Dogs on Deployment. We ask that you start in the back of the pack if you are competing in this division and clean up any dog waste.
Awards:
The top three overall male and female finishers will receive special awards. Age group awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in the following divisions: 10 and Under, 11-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 and Over.
We will also give awards to the top three male and female finishers in the Six Legged Division (and yes, the top dogs will also receive a special treat!).
Course:
The course is flat and fast. Runners and walkers will start in Veterans Park, go left on Pioneer Drive and take that for approximately 1/2 mile before turning around. The course will then take runners left on Kristin Drive and wind through the neighborhoods for about 1.5 miles before hitting the Muskego Recreation Trail and going back to Veterans Park for the final half mile to the finish.
