Course or Race Highlight

This isn't your traditional 3K. It's three rounds of running, music, beer, and block-party fun at Bridgeway Station!

The event begins at 11:00 a.m. and features three separate 1K loops. Runners will have 45 minutes to complete each loop, travel up and over the Bridgeway bridge, and return to the block party to enjoy a beer and music before the next round begins. Run hard, take it easy, or find the perfect pace somewhere in between. The only requirement is that you're ready when the next round begins!

The Course

Each 1K loop goes up and over the Bridgeway bridge and returns to the block party. The course map will be posted before race day.
