Race Waves & Start Times
We’ve got two wave starts this year to keep things fun and fair for everyone!
A Wave — 10:00 AM
This wave is for runners expecting to finish the 5K in 25 minutes or less. Fast feet, focused, ready to race — this is your lane.
B Wave — 10:30 AM
This wave is for everyone else — whether you’re running, walking, stumbling, skipping with a pup, or just here for the vibes. If your expected finish time is over 25 minutes, this fun and friendly heat is for you!
Both waves are chip timed, and all participants are welcome to stick around for the Brew Fest, music, giveaways, and post-race celebration at Shoes & Brews.
