Participants can look forward to a festive atmosphere from start to finish, including music and activities immediately after the race at The Firefly Taco Cantina. All finishers will be awarded a commemorative medal, celebrating their accomplishment and contribution to a great cause. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a fun morning out, the Cinco De Mayo 5K promises camaraderie and celebration in the heart of St. Marys.
