Participants who register after the deadline will get a tee on a first-come, first-served basis with limited sizes available. All in-person 5K participants will receive a custom oversized coffee mug as their award, because.... let’s be honest, coffee is life in motherhood.
Early Packet Pickup
Save time in line on race day and get your race gear early at Columbus Running Company's Westerville location (50 N State St 43081) on Friday, May 10 (10a-8p) or Saturday, May 11 (10a-6p). Get your race gear early and check out the spring and summer apparel to keep you cool on race day.
Parking
Free parking is available at McNamara Park on a first-come, first-served basis! There are technically two lots you may park in, but our starting line is closest to the Genoa Township Fire Station Entrance. We recommend planning to be on-site and parked at least thirty minutes before your event start time.

Safety
This event will happen rain or shine! Hopefully, May brings sunshine and good vibes. That being said, we will follow the safety protocol and delay the race for any lightning for the safety of participants.
Strollers are WELCOMED and celebrated! For the safety of all participants, please start near the back of the starting line to avoid tripping and overcrowding. For the safety of all participants, NO DOGS are allowed on the premises during the event and you will be kindly asked to leave if you bring a furry friend. We love our furry friends, but cannot welcome them to this event due to liability reasons.
