This exciting event, part of the US Road Running Race Series, promises a vibrant atmosphere where every finisher earns a unique, themed medal. Choose your challenge from the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon distances, all taking place on a scenic, paved out-and-back course. The 5K runners will complete one loop, 10K participants will tackle two, and half marathoners will conquer four segments of the course.
The race officially kicks off at 8:00 AM near the Wilson Park Recreation Center, with packet pickup beginning a convenient 30 minutes prior to the start. Parking is easily found in the lot by the Crossroads Tennis Courts, where restrooms are also available. Typical race day conditions in late June often see highs around 95F and lows around 72F, with a minimal 10% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm but generally clear run. This event goes beyond the traditional race; participants are encouraged to wear costumes, with an award given for the best dressed. Walkers are always welcome, and a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit ensures that runners of all abilities can achieve their goals and proudly collect their well-deserved finisher medal.
