Organiser's Description
The $5K is designed as a low-key race for the athlete who wants to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by larger events, and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank.
Each monthly race is geared to give you, the runner, a chance to test your abilities, concentrate on your technique, and converse with other people in the running community without feeling overwhelmed with crowds, vendors, award ceremonies, etc. We keep it small while still providing you with an official chip-timed 5K event!
_For those wanting a little more competition_ - the $5K Race Series is one 5K per month (always the 2nd Tue) from April - October. Runners are awarded points based on finishing times and awards are given at the October race. Learn more by clicking on the link under RACE INFO.

_In the event the race should be cancelled for reasons beyond the control of the Race Directors (inclement weather or unsafe weather conditions; local, state, or national emergency; etc.), the race directors will do their best to reschedule the affected race(s) for the following Tuesday._
NO PETS ALLOWED - _participants will not be issued a bib and/or DQ'd!_
HEADPHONES DISCOURAGED - _talk to your fellow runners! Most of them are actually nice!_
STROLLERS ALLOWED - _but please start in the back of the pack! It's chip-timed...so you can pass on the greenway!_
