This exciting event invites runners of all levels to enjoy a festive atmosphere, complete with a Hawaiian theme. Participants will be rewarded with a unique themed finisher medal, and those embracing the luau spirit can even compete for the best costume award.
The race kicks off at 8:30 AM from the tennis court parking lot, with the starting line conveniently located next to the playground. Runners will navigate a scenic, entirely paved out-and-back course. The 5K distance involves two loops of the course, the 10K four loops, and half marathoners will complete six loops.

Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:30 AM start time and concludes 10 minutes prior to the race.
