Overview:
Join us in our Sunset/Friday Night Run series!
Run will sell-out QUICK! Price will increase after every 20 participants. We will close off waves the moment they fill up. If waves are sold out, you can sign-up for the virtual run option or wait list.
This small, private group run is capped at just 15-20 participants per wave.
All paces and ages (under 18 with guardian) are welcome - Run or Walk! 
There's no equipment or setup, this is just a pure run with our coordinators to support you!
Timing:
This is a stress free run to support you in achieving your goals!

Run for Others: Make a Difference
Every year we aim to provide 5,000 stipends, scholarships, or just free entries (with Shirt & Medal) to those who aren’t able to pay for a registration ticket themselves. We believe every person should have the opportunity to part of a fun, community run. 
This includes at risk youth, orphans, or the marginalized. 
If you’re an organization or Non-Profit wanting to apply for stipend/scholarships, feel free to contact us for more information at contact@thebestraces.com.
