SUP & RUN 5K | 10th Anniversary Event

🎉 Event Overview

The 10th Annual SUP & RUN 5K event will be held at Nathan Benderson Park to benefit RUCK9 (www.RUCK9.com) with partial proceeds going to Operation Second Chance (www.OperationSecondChance/com).

🏃‍♂️ Race Options

The SUP & RUN 5K gives athletes three great races in one to choose from.

• 5K RUN: Participate in the traditional 5K run.
• 5K Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP): Enjoy a scenic paddle on the water.
• 5K SUP & 5K RUN: Experience both running and paddling.
  (There is a start line mat (chip) for the combination SUP & RUN)

🌊 Combination Participation

Athletes participating in the combination SUP & RUN will run the 5K first and then hop on their paddle board for a 5K paddle around Nathan Benderson Park. The SUP & RUN 5K draws top runners and SUP'ers who compete for cash prizes but it's our not-so-serious athletes who have the most prominent place in the event.
