Triad GO FAR Community 5K & Fun Run Presented by Novant Health

The majority of our runners are children. The safety of our young runners is top priority.

• Strollers are welcome but must line up at the back of the final wave to avoid congestion at the start line.
• No bikes, roller blades or skateboards
• For safety purposes, only service animals are allowed at our events. A service animal is a working animal, not a pet. No pets permitted on the course or within the event area.
• All runners (including parents and running buddies) must register in advance and wear assigned bib during the race. Any runner not wearing a bib will be asked to exit the race course.

GO FAR RUNNERS:

If you have been training with a school group, your coach will have a meeting spot in the Coaches' Lot, near event festivities. Ask your coach for details about how to find your group and check-in times. (Most coaches require runners to arrive sometime between 7:15-8:00 am.) It is IMPORTANT TO ARRIVE EARLY. There will be a lot of traffic. Give yourself plenty of time to park and find your group in the Coaches’ Lot. After you check in with your coach, you will have time to enjoy the GO FAR family festivities.
