🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Come join CRC for a fun run on Saturday, July 5 at 8am at the back parking lot of the Conway Regional Fitness Center on Salem Road. We have a ~5k route (see link below) we will be doing as a group along the trail behind the fitness center. We are also going to do a 1-Mile Sparkler Run this year, so be sure to bring the entire family for a fun morning.

📋 Additional Information

  • Event Type: This is a “fun run.” It is not a timed event. We will, however, have refreshments and awards for those that register for the event on RunSignUp. All participants will receive a finisher award. Please note: we will not ship. You will have to pick up at a date/location TBD. The first male and first female "winners" of the 5k will also receive a free CRC membership.
  • Registration: Registration is FREE to all Conway Running Club members, so be sure to become a member before registering! (See membership cost and perks below.) 12 and under, $10 for 5k & $5 for 1-mile. 100% Member discount and age-based discounts will be automatically applied at checkout. YOU MUST USE SAME EMAIL TO REGISTER FOR RACE AS USED FOR CLUB MEMBERSHIP.
  • Start Times: We will have a wave start with the 5k starting at 8am and the 1-mile starting ~5 minutes after. Please arrive early enough to check-in for the event (we will be giving you a wristband to denote which race you are running).
  • Course Details: This is an OPEN course. The 1-mile course will be on the trail with a turnaround point halfway. We ask that you please try to run on the right side of the trail as to not impede those who are returning to the finish.

🛑 Important Course Information

  • Neighborhood Portion: The majority of the 5k is along the trail, but there is a small portion that goes into a neighborhood. It is your responsibility to obey all traffic laws and be aware of your surroundings. Please run opposing vehicular traffic whenever possible.
  • Course Markings: We will have the portion of the 5k course that goes into the neighborhood marked with some cones so you hopefully will know when to turn. Still, please check out the course map prior to the run if you can!
  • Participation: We are anticipating a nice turnout for this event, and we are excited! We hope you can make it and meet other runners/walkers!
  • Pets Policy: While we love our four-legged friends, we ask that you abstain from bringing them to this event in case there are runners who are wary of dogs.

🚼 Stroller and Bathroom Information

  • Strollers: Strollers and dogs will be allowed, but we ask that you start at the back of the pack!
  • Bathroom Facilities: WARNING: There are no bathrooms readily available at the start/finish line of this event. There are bathrooms at the Fitness Center, which you will need to ask permission to use, and there are also bathrooms across the street at the McDonald's.
  • Route Bathrooms: There are also bathrooms along the 5k route: one bathroom roughly halfway at Gatling Park and a Port-a-Potty at the Veteran's Memorial Park.
  • Membership Benefit: An annual individual membership to the Conway Running Club is only $15 for the year for an individual and $30 for a family. Your membership helps us host events like this and more.

🌧️ Inclement Weather Plan

We will have the run as planned if it rains, but we will postpone the race for 30 minutes in case of lightning. If after 30 minutes the lightning has not subsided, we will have to cancel the event (but we will still pass out the medals to everyone who registered). There is a possibility that a large rainstorm prior to the event could block off access to the northern part of the trail (under the Prince Street bridge). In that case, we will have the 5k runners use the 1-mile turn around to make 3 down and back loops.
