Description
HAPPY 2026! We are so excited celebrate the new year with you! Start your new year strong by running our DAY ONE 5K, 10K, & 15K. This event is open to both runners and walkers of all talents and experience levels! Finishers will receive a 5 INCH CUSTOM EVENT-THEMED MEDAL! Those who place top three in their age group and win an ADDITIONAL MEDAL!
If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend on KID'S DASH! This is a short 100-200 meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers receive participation shirts, and will have the option to add finisher medal to their registration.
Registration Includes:
- Event-themed participation t-shirt (T-SHIRT CUTOFF IS 12/18)
- 5 INCH CUSTOM EVENT-THEMED Medal
- Eligibility for Age Group Awards (5K | 10K | 15K ONLY)
Age groups will be awarded 3 deep in the following divisions: M/F 0-4, M/F 5-9, M/F 10-14, M/F 15-19, M/F 20-24, M/F 25-29, M/F 30-34, M/F 35-39, M/F 40-44, M/F45-49, M/F 50-54, M/F 55-59, M/F 60-64, M/F 65-69, M/F 70-74, M/F 75-79, M/F 80+.
