T-shirt deadline 4/14

Please note that registration will be open until 7:30am on race morning, however there will be no cash registration available at the park on race morning.  Same day registration will be completed on your mobile device. If you need to switch events, the deadline to do so is 12pm the day before the race. 

Bib and shirt pickup will be Friday from 4-5:30pm or on race morning 6:45-8am. Both will take place at the park pavilion. If you registered by 11:59pm on 4/14 you will receive a race shirt. Please note that we are not able to accommodate shirt size swaps. 

Announcements and National Anthem will be at 7:45am. The race will start promptly at 8am. 

Please note that this is not a closed course. We do our best to inform the community of the race and encourage them to use alternate routes when possible. We will have a volunteer at every intersection to help guide participants and stop any oncoming traffic. 

We will have two water stations available this year. The first water stop will be by Nick's Park and the second will be by Monticello Laundry. 10K runners will pass the second stop twice.

The 5K award ceremony will start at approximately 9am with the 10K awards immediately following.
