The 5K course takes participants through the charming streets and fields of Barrington, offering picturesque scenery on a road course with some gentle hills. Aid stations, providing water, will be conveniently located around the 1 and 2-mile marks to keep runners hydrated.

Beyond the race itself, top male and female 5K finishers will vie for a $100 cash prize. All 5K registrants can snag a complimentary race T-shirt if signed up by the September 12, 2026, deadline, while every participant in the Fun Runs will receive a medal to commemorate their achievement. This event promises a vibrant community atmosphere and a memorable experience for all involved.
