Thousand Island Park 5K

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The Thousand Island Park 5K, or TIP5K, is a memorial footrace to honor the memory of General TJ "Demon" Costello, who served as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force. This race started at a family reunion in 2013 and has grown to include the local community of TI Park. It’s a small, family-oriented race that welcomes all levels of participation.
