This exciting event features not only the main 5K race, which showcases stunning Coast Guard views, but also a unique 3K K9 race that welcomes four-legged friends. Runners and walkers alike can enjoy a fun-filled day with awards for the top three male and female finishers, as well as age group categories ranging from 14 and under to 60+.
