🥇 Participation Details

  • Fun Run: 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.
  • Wristbands: Arrive early enough to check-in for the event (we will be giving you a wristband to denote which race you are running).
  • Course: This is an OPEN course. The 1-mile course will be on the trail with a turnaround point halfway.
  • Traffic Laws: It is your responsibility to obey all traffic laws and be aware of your surroundings. Please run opposing vehicular traffic whenever possible.

🚻 Amenities and Considerations

  • Bathrooms: There are no bathrooms readily available at the start/finish line. Please use facilities at the Fitness Center or across the street at McDonald’s.
  • Family-Friendly: Strollers and dogs are allowed, but please start at the back of the pack!
  • Pets Policy: We love our four-legged friends, but we ask that you abstain from bringing them to this event in case there are runners who are wary of dogs.
  • Course Marking: Portions of the course that go into the neighborhood will be marked with cones. Please check out the course map prior to the run if you can!

🌧️ 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).
