Timing

You have the option of doing the 5K "JUST FOR FUN" or “TIMED.” If you select “TIMED” you will receive a chip providing an official race time. If you're not interested in receiving an official chip time we ask that you please choose "JUST FOR FUN". Note: All participants will be able to see a digital clock at the finish line displaying the elapsed race time.

Teams

As they say, the more the merrier! This year we are offering a team category. In the spirit of friendly competition, awards will be presented to the largest corporate, school, community, law enforcement and military teams. But in addition to that, if you have at least 50 registered team members, you’ll be provided a complimentary team tent to use as your meeting location at the event. Hang a banner from your tent making it easy for your teammates to find you on race day.
