Although there is no "standard" age at which a runner should get involved in the sport of running, we recommend runners be at least 6 years old for the 5K. Ultimately, it is up to each parent or guardian to adjust our recommended age, higher or lower, depending upon their dependent's ability to participate in our event. You know your children, we trust your judgement and that of the medical professionals you consult.

The 1K is for youth 10 and under.

Absolutely! We get A LOT of first timers at our events. There is a significant hill in the second half so be prepared for that!

We do discounts for teams of 10 or more and for youth groups of various sizes. Contact us if you have a large group.

There will be an aid station at the half way point.
