Additional Information:
This run will be chip timed and it is very important that you visibly wear your bib on the front of your chest/body when crossing the start and finish line to ensure an accurate race time.
We do allow strollers at this event.
This is a dog friendly event however we do ask that you keep you dog/s on a short lease and be mindful of other participants on course. We will have a water bowl for dogs setup at the finish line.
Participants with both dogs and strollers are asked to lineup in the back to avoid any tripping hazards when the race starts however the race will be chip timed so your time will not start until you start.
Headphones/iPod/mp3 devices are allowed, though are strongly not recommended. It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure that they do not impair their ability to hear and detect present or potential hazards and dangers.
If at any time you or someone else on course is in need of assistance throughout the run please notify a course marshal or dial 911 in case of an emergency and then please let the closest course marshal know as well.
Anyone who wants to start the race after the main group has begun the run is more than welcome to and your time will still be accurate as your time does not start until you cross the start line.
The run will start rain or shine. The run could be delayed due to lightning or other dangerous conditions. The above schedule is weather-dependent.
Virtual Race Information:
The race is in person however we will offer offer a virtual as well.
Everyone signing up for the virtual race will receive an event shirt, custom medal and race custom bib.
A Virtual 5K (or any other virtual race distance) is a race that you choose to complete wherever and whenever you would like. You can walk, run, or use a treadmill. The beauty of a virtual race is that you can run the race at your pace and at your convenience.
It is not required to report your time however if you would like your race time posted you must email us no later than two days after the actual race. You can self report and post your time for the race up to one month after the race.
