Organiser's Description

HAPPY 2026! We are so excited celebrate the new year with you! Start your new year strong by running our DAY ONE 5K. This event is open to both runners and walkers of all talents and experience levels! Finishers will receive a _CUSTOM EVENT-THEMED MEDAL_! Those who place top FOUR in their age group will win an _ADDITIONAL AWARD MEDAL_!



If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend on _KID'S DASH_! This is a short 100200-meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.

Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts; however, this will be an untimed event with no age group awards.
