This popular US Road Running Club Race offers participants a choice of a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, or 5K distance, all kicking off promptly at 8:00 AM. Runners can expect a picturesque, paved out-and-back course that boasts plenty of shade, providing a comfortable setting even with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 93F and lows around 73F, and a 15% chance of precipitation.
The course layout features an engaging design for each distance. The 5K runners will complete one out-and-back loop, while the 10K challenges participants with two out-and-back loops. Those tackling the Half Marathon will embark on four out-and-back loops to reach the 13.1-mile mark. All runners must register online via RunSignup, as there is no on-site registration available, and packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race starts. Finishers are rewarded with custom-themed medals, and the race encourages a festive atmosphere with awards for top finishers and a special prize for the best costume.
As part of the US Road Running Race Series, participating in the Eagle 5K, 10K, & 13.1M also allows runners to earn points towards the series standings.
