$5K - August

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

• Purpose: The $5K is designed as a low-key race for the athlete who wants to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by larger events, and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank.
• Community: Each monthly race is geared to give you, the runner, a chance to test your abilities, concentrate on your technique, and converse with other people in the running community without feeling overwhelmed with crowds, vendors, award ceremonies, etc.
• Format: We keep it small while still providing you with an official chip-timed 5K event!
• Competition: For those wanting a little more competition - the $5K Race Series is one 5K per month (always the 2nd Tue) from April - October. Runners are awarded points based on finishing times and awards are given at the October race.
