There is no minimum age to participate in the 5 km race. All participants in the 5 km race must be registered, with the exception of children that will be in strollers for the entire duration of the race. Please note that children without a 5 km bib will not receive a shirt, medal or any amenities at the finish line.
For kids that want to participate in both the Kids Race and the 5 km event (not in a stroller), registration for both events is required; however, our discounted youth pricing will still apply to both events.
We ask that any kids joining parents/guardians who are not registered (i.e. will be in a stroller for the duration of the event), please refrain from taking a medal and other amenities at the finish line.
Any parents/guardians supervising or joining their kids in the 5 km race must ALSO be registered.
All participants walking or running on any race course must have signed a waiver in registration and be wearing a valid race bib.

Pace Team
Experienced runners are here to help you crush your goals! Let them pace while you race.
Guaranteed to get you across the finish line if you stick with your pacer, you can relax, enjoy the ride and lean on our pacers when you hit the wall or need a little extra hype to get you through a tough part of the race. These pacers have been hand-selected because of their love of run, their racing experience and their swagger - high five and hugs for PACERS!
