On race morning, pick a time and place that works best for you to run or walk 3.1 miles. Be sure to wear your CKG race shirt and bib. Smile, take pictures, and tag CKG! We want to see where everyone is participating from. Be sure to read your race day instructions included in your participant packet. 

Facebook Live: CKG will be going live on Facebook during our opening ceremonies at Byrd Park! We know you might not be able to join us live but hope you will watch before you go out for your 5k. Near and far we have the same goal: to SpeakUp!
