New for 2024!

5K course has been modified to eliminate crossover as faster runners are finishing.

Starting area will be segmented into 3 sections based on projected finish time.  Faster runners will be placed in the front 2 sections.

Bib time will be used to determine age group awards.

Dogs will NOT be permitted in the 5k for safety reasons and concerns raised by participants.

Thank you to our sponsors!
