It is un- timed, runners that want a time need to switch to the 5k race at or before packet pickup. If you are registered for the 5k you may participate in the 1K with a family member but please avoid the timing mats! The 5K will start at approximately 7:30 with our Ainsley's Angels athletes in their chariots ! The rest of the 5K participants start at 7:35 and we ask the fastest runners to please line up in front. Stay around after the race to enjoy our sponsor tents, fire truck, and the awards ceremony at approximately 9:00. We hope for nice weather but this is a rain or shine event. In the case of severe weather we may delay the start (shelter in the garage) or cancel to ensure everyone stays safe.
We are excited to run with you soon!
