NEW COURSE ALERT! In 2025 we ran a new course and things went great. The course will be the same this year.

The 5k course is rated at medium/hard with some hills.  The downhill mile is super fast! This race is a separate competitive race for all ages. The mile will be run before the 5k. The course is on a slight downhill, sure to produce some fast times. Registration for the 5k or down hill mile  is $25 or register for both races for $30!
