Belmont Classic 5K

For 2023, the 5K event will be a hybrid race.  We will run in-person and time runners like normal adjusting as necessary for any new COVID restrictions (TBD).  We will allow virtual runners to run the course or a route of their choice on their own schedule in April if they prefer due to COVID concerns.  Virtual runners should register to receive a t-shirt.  Virtual runners will not be eligible for race medals based on time however.  Virtual runners should email belmont5k@gmail.com for a coupon code to discount their fee.  ALL runners, in-person and virtual, should register by April 2nd to ensure they receive a t-shirt.  After April 2nd, we will NOT have t-shirts for runners registering after that date.  Online registration ends at midnight on Wednesday, April 19 to allow for bib assignments.  You can still register during packet pickup on Thursday, April 20 and Friday, April 21, 12p-6p at the Belmont Police Department and prior to the race on Saturday, April 22 (before 7:45am).
