About this race
Overview:
- Spots sell out FAST: We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist.
- Personal experience: This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave so it never feels crowded and you’re never just a bib number.
- All ages welcome: All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like!
- No fuss: There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.
Timing:
- Optional tracking: Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted.
