About this race

Are you ready to take it to the Next Level?

This isn't just a race. It's a movement calling your name.

The Next Level 5K is where runners, walkers, and relentless go-getters come together to push limits, shatter barriers, and prove to themselves that they are capable of far more than they imagined. Whether you're crossing your very first finish line or hunting down a new personal best, this is YOUR race. Your moment. Your breakthrough.

Hosted by Tristar Academy, a community forged on growth, discipline, and the belief that every person deserves to be elevated, The Next Level 5K is engineered to do more than get you moving. It's designed to ignite something inside you that keeps burning long after you cross that finish line. And because community matters, a portion of every registration goes directly toward supporting a local high school track and cross country program, giving the next generation of athletes the chance to chase their own dreams.

When you show up on race day, here's what's waiting for you:

- Finisher medals because every single finisher deserves to be celebrated and remembered.
- TOP 3 Finishers get a $100 Visa Gift Card!
- Event shirts for all registered runners so you can wear your achievement with pride
- Professionally timed race so you can track your progress, own your numbers, and see exactly how far you've come
- Local sponsors & community partners who believe in what you're building and show up to prove it
- Real networking opportunities with driven, like-minded individuals who are just as hungry as you are
- An electric atmosphere that will push you harder than you'd ever push yourself alone
- Participant Check-in Begins at 8AM. Arrive early, soak it in, and feel the energy of a crowd that refuses to settle.

This is more than a 5K. It's a room and a starting line full of people who refuse to accept average. People who wake up and decide to do something about it. You belong in it.

Spots are limited. Every day you wait is a day someone else takes your place. Register NOW and take your next step forward because the only thing standing between you and the next level is this moment.
