Diamonds & Donuts 5K

Diamonds & Donuts 5K

Saturday, August 30th

8:00am   5K                  Morning Race

7:30PM   CA$H Mile*  Evening Race (*must qualify from the morning 5K--see details below)

PLEASE NOTE: We have changed up the CA$H Mile structure.

Instead of having the TOP 10  Men & TOP 10 Women return in the evening for a Winner-Take-All-Mile, we are going to give CA$H prizes as a part of the morning 5K.

Here’s how it will work: In the 5K race, there will be a $50 CA$H PRIZE given to the first MALE and first FEMALE to the 1 Mile mark of the 5K, (known as a ‘Prim’) and also a $50 CA$H PRIZE to the overall MALE and FEMALE Winner of the 5K.  [It could be the same male/female that wins both CA$H prizes or it could be two (2) separate men/women.]     

No separate mile race late in the evening; no additional race to return for. You’re welcome.
 

Come out and join us for this unique race that ultimately supports Christmas with a Cop foundation.  Kids get to shop with a law enforcement officer during Christmas and build something special...a toy maybe and more importantly, a relationship!  Your participation in this race helps make that happen!!

The 5K will be chip-timed by www.wire2wirerunning.com

   Morning...am

5K COURSE: 

Every finisher gets a donut at the end of the race...do you really care what the course is?!! 

Seriously though, the 5K starts in the parking lot of the AdventHealth Stadium and makes its way to the ECO Trail along the Oostanaula River before returning to the stadium.  This route is not only beautiful but fast as well.

CA$H MILE is now a part of the 5K.  See above.
