EVERY REGISTERED PARTICIPANT  WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A TERRIFIC GIVEAWAY-

OUR PREMIER SPONSOR JETBLUE WILL BE GIVING AWAY TWO TICKETS IN BOTH THE 5K

It doesn't matter if you are first over the finish line or last. Because every participant in the 14th annual Weston Kiwanis Reservoir Run’s half-marathon or 5K will be entered into a separate half-marathon or 5K drawing for two roundtrip JetBlue tickets to anywhere in the world JetBlue flies. This lets you choose from over 30 countries and more than 100 cities to run in, or relax on the sand.
