Each participant in the timed 5K will receive a soft cotton/poly blend race t-shirt, a custom race bib, and a well-deserved finisher medal, with food truck vouchers also included. Don't miss this chance to experience a truly one-of-a-kind 5K, culminating in an off-site after-party at B.C. Brewing where your bib scores you a discount.
