Event Details
Thank you for registering for the St. James 5K Walk / Run on Saturday, June 12th. As a participant of this event, you are supporting the American Cancer Society’s life-saving research, programs and services, education and advocacy for cancer patients and their caregivers. We thank you for joining us in the fight against cancer. Together, we will find a cure!
To ensure your experience at the event is nothing but positive, there are a few things we want you to know and be prepared for.
1. The 5k Event begins at 8AM and is Rain or Shine. There is no make-up date and no refunds.
2. We have close to 500 registered participants! Parking will be tight at and around Woodlands Park. Please walk or carpool if possible. The start/finish of the walk/run and all festivities will be held at the Pavilion at Woodlands Park.
3. The St. James Fire Department will be assisting us with road closures and parking, so please follow their lead.
4. You may pick up your Race Packet on Friday, June 11th between 4 and 6 PM at the back parking lot of Woodlands by the Dog Park. You will receive your tee shirt, your bib number and safety pins at check-in. Please note, if you registered after May 24th, you are not guaranteed a tee shirt.
(Since we have had a record-breaking year we would appreciate your help with Packet Pick Up. Simply make a note of your bib number and be ready to tell the volunteer your number at Check-In. You are welcome to pick up packets for friends/family/neighbors but we ask that you do bring a list of numbers you are picking up with you.) You can find your bib number on the Find a Participant Tab on the registration website.
5. If you are unable to do so on Friday, you may pick up your packet on Saturday morning between 7:00 and 7:45 AM
6. Warm Up for all participants is at 7:45 AM and will be led by GoingFit’s Heather Wilson. She is sure to get the blood pumping and the joints ready for your 3.1 mile event.
7. Please no pets along the route. We all love our pets but bringing your dog along has the potential to be a safety hazard for both our participants and your pet. Please leave them at home.
8. Strollers are welcome. We will ask that our faster participants start at the front and our slower participants start at the back.
9. Awards will be given to the top 3 male finishers and the top 3 female finishers. The awards have been donated by Troon.
10. We will not hold onto any valuables for you. So, please have a plan with regard to purses, tee shirts, car keys etc.
One more thing you can do to help us in the fight against cancer:
Bring your check book! This year we have added a GRAND 50/50 Raffle that will be drawn at the Relay for Life Golf Tournament on October 2nd.
Never Give Up Hope Shirts will be available for purchase.
Luminaria will be for sale at the 5K. You may purchase a bag for $10 in honor or in memory of a loved one. For each bag you purchase, you will be entered into a raffle.
If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Liz Knapp at lizknapp63@gmail.com
Thanks again and see you on Saturday, June 12th.

St. James Relay for Life Team
