Details

The 5k will start in front of (outside) the football stadium at 9:00.  This is different from past years and this change will help minimize overlap in the first mile.

The Kid’s Run will be held on the track at the stadium.   The key event will be ½ mile or 2 laps on the track.  There are a large number of entries in the Fun Runs. There are 4 options for participants.

Age                     Distance         

  • 2 and under       50 meters           

  • 3 - 4                  100 meters          

  • 5 - 6                 400 meters          

  • 7 & up              800 meters          

Children are welcome to move up or down to another run

  • The 50 and 100 meters will be in a clockwise direction

  • The 400 and 800 meters will be in a counter-clockwise direction

  • Common finish line (Start/finish line)

Parents are welcome to run with their children to encourage them to participate.  We do ask that parents not join the event for the purpose of “pacing” children for stronger performance – the event is for fun.

Strollers and Pets: Competitors with strollers and pets on leashes will be permitted but are required to start in the back of the starting area.

Food Bank Donations: Competitors and spectators are encouraged to bring at least 2 or 3 non-perishable items for donation to local food banks to help those in need during the holiday season. Donors will have a chance to win a $50 gift card! (See details below under “Random Awards”)

Restroom: Restrooms are available only at the stadium

T-shirts: Any extra t-shirts available will be sold in the registration area starting around 9:15 for $10. 

5K Awards: 5K awards will be announced and awarded around 9:50. Individuals unable to remain are welcome to receive their award from the Awards table, on the track, after 9:30. 

Results: Results will be posted on www.motiontiming.com  and on Race Roster 

Random Awards: The Food Donation drawing will be made after the awards are announced.   The winner need not be present. Random Awards will be distributed around 10:10. Winners of these drawings must be present.  Over $500 of random awards will be made this year. We will begin collecting bib tabs after 10:00am to avoid collecting names of individuals not present

Refreshments: Water, apples and bananas will be available at the end of the race 

Food Donations: Reminder:  Bring a few non-perishable food donations for the local food back. Donors will have a chance to win a $50 gift card.
