You may still fill out our standard registration form for the race, and mail or walk in your registration. Registration must be received by Wednesday, November 19th.
Trophies for overall winners and age group winners. Both courses (5K and 10K) have been certified. There will be 10 men's and 10 women's divisions in each run. The first 500 registrants will receive a long sleeve t-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to overall winners, and winners in age group categories for each run. Overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards will be given for the 5K Walk. Be sure to list your age on race day so we can accurately place you in the appropriate division. Random awards will be given during the awards ceremony, following the 5K. All winners must be present during the ceremony to collect their award.
