Like last year we'd like to encourage everyone to register early! 5K racers registering by APRIL 19 will pay $30 plus processing fees. The 5K price will go up to $35 plus processing fees on APRIL 20, to $45 plus processing fees on packet pick-up day, Friday, May 9, and to $50 plus processing fees for walk-in registrations on race day. This is due to our increased cost for last-minute supplies and labor. The 1K and 1-mile price will be $15 throughout the registration period until race day, when they will go up to $25. If you register four or more people together, each registration will receive a $5 discount. Individuals signing up for multiple events will also receive a discount. We encourage all our UPES families to register for our event--IF THE COST IS A PROBLEM, PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] or SEE MS. NEFF.



To sponsor the race as a Family Sponsor this year and get your name on the back of the shirt, please make a donation in the amount of $120 (or more) on the race's donate page. If you are registering for the race, the option to donate/sponsor will happen during the registration process.
