Description
We excited to bring back one of our most LUXURIOUS events of the year - BLACK DIAMOND! Come out and participate in either our 5K or 10K event and earn your very own BLACK DIAMOND MEDAL! Place top three in your 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 run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.
*NEW*
Run Different is adding a brand new 1 MILE OPTION to all of our events for 2026! This is perfect for those who are just dipping their toes into the racing experience as well as friends, families, and social group that just want to go for a nice stroll. Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts, however this will be an untimed event with no age group awards.
Registration Includes:
- Event-themed participation t-shirt (5K | 10K | 1M) **T-SHIRT CUTOFF IS 12/21**
- Custom Finisher Medal (5K | 10K | 1M)
- Eligibility for Age Group Awards (5K | 10K 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+. Our OVERALL MALE, OVERALL FEMALE, MALE MASTERS (40+), FEMALE MASTERS (40+), MALE GRAND MASTERS (60+), & FEMALE GRAND MASTERS (60+) will not only receive their gold medals, but will also win a CUSTOM EVENT-THEMED TROPHY!
