Keep an eye out for themed characters along the course, adding an extra layer of excitement before the turn-around points. For the younger runners, the 1/4 mile Rhino Dash provides a memorable experience as they chase a parent dressed as a rhino around the parking lot. All 5K finishers will receive a custom RunWild Buckle to commemorate their achievement, with water and Gatorade available at the finish line to help you refresh.
