Online Registration is open through June 30, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Race registration is free for Sub5 track club members with current membership standing. Members must register membership in advance and use Runsignup login to receive online discount.

Bib pick-up for all pre-registered runners and race-day registration will be at Brewer Auditorium from 8:00 to 9:05 a.m.  BIB PICK-UP AND REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 9:05 a.m.! Race day registration will be $25. Team registration pricing on race day is $75. Race-day registration is cash or check only.

NEW THIS YEAR! Our race participant item is being upgraded from cotton to a tech shirt. Because this comes with an additional cost and other increased costs we've decided to make it an add-on. This means, you can register for the race for the same low price (free for Sub5 members) but if you want the shirt it is an additional $10. Details are in the registration. 

Course Records: Riley Masters 8:02 (2011), Ruth White 9:26 (2023)
