Tips & Advice

  • Pin your race number right side up on the front of your shirt over your belly button so the reverse-side RFID chip can register correctly.
  • Choose between the 5K and 10K before registering, matching the distance to your running experience and the effort you want.
  • Youth under 17 years, 11 months can enter free, but register in advance so they are included on the race list.
  • Arrive with time to get ready before the 8:15 a.m. start, as the race takes place outdoors at West Wetlands Park.
  • Wear comfortable running shoes and layers suitable for a December morning outdoors, since participants run at West Wetlands Park.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Youth entries for both the 5K and 10K are free.
